    We booked The Mini Farm as part of a wider sustainability event on our University Campus. Jess and the team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, communication was always prompt and professional and the event went without a hitch on the day. The animals and staff really engaged our students, it was a hugely positive and well received event and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Definitely recommend.

    Great service from start to finish. Hired the mini farm for a corporate event, where office workers were invited to come down during lunch to de-stress by greeting the animals. Booking was smooth and all communication before and up to the event was responded to quickly. On the day of the event, the team arrived promptly and set quickly and were friendly to all guests. Animals were well looked after throughout. Would highly recommend the mini farm for any future event and hope to work with them again in the future.
