CAR PARKING

There is ample car parking, even at busy times. There are a number of designated disabled spaces too. Parking is free on normal visitor days.

We are delighted to say that footfall to Jimmy’s Farm has been steadily increasing over the last few months and we would like to thank you all for your support. However, the increase in cars coming to the car park means that, for Health and Safety reasons, we have found it necessary to employ dedicated car park attendants on Farmers’ Market and Event days. Also, there is increased maintenance required for the car park itself and the exit track. Therefore, we have introduced a car park charge to cover these costs. Please see the details for each event, on our Events Pages, for charges that will apply as they vary. Thank you for you continuing support on this matter.

DISABLED ACCESS ON THE FARM

We welcome all visitors to the Farm. We must be honest with you and say that wheelchairs are very welcome but we are a working farm so there are hills, muddy paths and gravelled areas to contend with. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office.
