WIN a family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children to Glendeer Pet Farm.
If you are looking to get the kids out and about in the fresh air, then Glendeer is the perfect family day out for you.

There are so many cute and cuddly animals for you to meet, from fluffy rabbits, guinea pigs, lambs, calves, chicks and the not so fluffy lizards, snake and tortoises.
You can feed the greedy goats, emus, llama, donkeys, cows, sheep, deer and lots more.

There is also a varity of exotic animals such as monkeys 🐒, emu, parrots 🦜, wallabys, meerkats to name a few.

There is also a gorgeous fairy trail and hobbit village with lots of native flora and fauna.

Lots of indoor and outdoor play areas and lots of under cover areas for the wet days. A coffee shop and lots of picnic areas too.

All you have to do is follow our page, like this post and share it to your page.
We will pick someone who has done all three on the 29th of May and announce the winner then.
Thanks so much for all your support so far this season. BRING ON THE SUN! 🌞
