Frampton is a family-based, working 26-acre farm located between Dover and Folkestone in Kent. We believe that being outdoors, surrounded by animals, nature, and wildlife, is incredibly therapeutic, which is why we’re passionate about offering others the chance to enjoy and connect with our farm. Whether it’s through our various clubs, events, or educational sessions, we aim to share the benefits of farm life with everyone who visits.
Our visitors & students can learn all about animal husbandry and horticulture, gaining hands-on experience with both the animals and the land. We offer a variety of ways for children, teenagers, and adults to experience farm life, whether through our clubs, educational visits, or courses. It’s a wonderful opportunity for all ages to connect with nature, develop new skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for farm life.

We were very kindly invited as a family to visit and see what H gets up to on his visits . We all had the best time the whole feel of the farm is relaxing, Calm and Happy 😊. All the animals are so very well looked after which you can tell by how affectionate they are ❤️. Thank you.

We had such a lovely experience during our visit, feeding the lamb and holding the baby goats. Zenan was a great tour guide.

This has been on my bucket list for a very long time but I didn't want to do it in a crowded environment with lots of people who may scare the animals. Frampton Farm was exceptional we had a private visit of 4 adults it was educational and a lot of fun interacting with the baby lambs and goats and all the other animals that are looked after on the farm. We were lucky enough to feed the lambs and the whole experience was so memorable. We have a grandson who is 2 and we hope to return with him next year when is a little bit older and understands more. Thank you to Karen and the team for an amazing experience we highly recommend this experience.

An outstanding visit. The owners have really taken a corner of the market in an excellent fashion. I’ve taken most of my Grandchildren round and each experience has been different, but just as enjoyable!! An excellent attraction!
