We were delighted to welcome the absolutely gorgeous Buddy the therapy goat, who came along with his lovely owner, Brooke, to spend some time with our residents.
Buddy was an absolute star! He was so calm, gentle and incredibly well behaved, happily enjoying lots of cuddles, strokes and fuss from our residents. There were plenty of smiles, laughter and some very happy faces as everyone got to meet and spend time with him.
Animal visits are always such a wonderful way to brighten the day, and Buddy certainly did that! It was lovely to see the joy and excitement he brought to Sycamore Hall — he was definitely a big hit with everyone.
A huge thank you to Brooke for bringing Buddy along and giving our residents such a memorable visit. We hope to see you both again soon!
What a beautiful boy you are, Buddy!

The event was great! The students who attended absolutely loved it, and the ones who could not attend have been asking when we're planning the next one.

Anyone thinking of booking a petting zoo experience do it and use this company!
Genuinely, they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We booked them for our daughter’s 9th birthday party and they made it such a special day. All of the children and even the adults had an amazing time.
They were so lovely, professional and brilliant with the kids, and they made an extra special fuss of the birthday girl
Thank you so much for making her birthday so memorable. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

Brookefields mobile petting farm came to our families day event in Catterick Garrison. They were great during booking and subsequent communications. On the day the range of animals and ability for the visitors to engage with the animals was fantastic. The families and, especially the children, had a great time. I highly recommend Brookefields mobile petting farm if you are looking for an animal experience.

What makes you happy? THIS. Seeing our residents' faces light up and their smiles shine as they make special memories in community activities within the Granby care home. Animal therapy is what we love the most ..

We are still buzzing from our visit from Brokefields. It was so easy right from the booking process to the end of the session. Jason and his helpers were brilliant, engaging the children and families in a relaxed, friendly way. This experience was such value for money, and the hands on learning was incredible. The feeback from the families has been so positive and asking when can we do it again!
We can't wait to book our next event with them very soon.

We had such a brilliant experience with Brookfield Mobile Petting Farm for our daughter’s birthday!
They arrived so well prepared and everything was organised brilliantly from start to finish. There was a fantastic range of animals, which the children (and adults) absolutely loved, and Jason was great fun with them all. He really made a fuss of the birthday girl and made her feel so special! 🥰🐰🐍🐾
Communication was excellent throughout, from booking right through to the day itself, which made everything so easy.
Would 100% recommend and we’d definitely book again. Thank you for making her birthday so memorable! ❤️

By far the best petting zoo we've had in three years running this fair, hands down. The whole community is still raving about it: the staff were endlessly attentive, going above and beyond for every visitor, and the sheer variety of animals on display was unlike anything we'd seen from other petting zoos. Everyone, young and old, was completely mesmerised. They were such a phenomenal hit that we've already booked them for next year — we can't recommend them highly enough!

Hired for a Yorkshire Day event for a hotel team. Communication was great from the start, they were very accommodating for our budget and requirements especially regarding the health and safety documentation, etc. The team arrived and set up in good time for the event. They were super friendly, professional and helpful throughout the day. The animals were clearly well cared for as well as being adorable.
It was such a great day enjoyed by all of our team and their families. We would highly recommend for anyone wanting to organise something different for a family friendly event.
Thank you for helping us create such a special celebration for Yorkshire Day!

Vicky and the team at Brookefields have been absolutely fantastic from start to finish! We booked the petting farm for a local council event, and the whole experience was brilliant. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and professional, and the petting farm was a huge hit with visitors of all ages.
We couldn’t recommend Vicky, the team and the whole experience highly enough. Thank you so much! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely amazing experience for my twin nieces’ birthday! Everyone loved the petting zoo, children and adults alike. They kindly gave me a discount and even brought more animals, which was such a lovely bonus. The whole setup was fantastic and very professional, with a gazebo, hand sanitiser station and hand-washing facilities — everything was so well organised and hygienic.
The staff were so friendly, welcoming and lovely with all my friends and family, and really helped make the day extra special. I would 100% recommend them and would definitely use them again. I would rate them 10 stars if I could! Thank you for making my nieces’ birthday so memorable! 🐰🐐❤️

Hi,
I’ve completed your feedback form but there was nowhere to add some free text feedback.
I just wanted to say thank you for making my daughter’s birthday party so fantastic last weekend.
From start to finish you were great. From communicating before the event to the day itself.
I was really impressed you had a gazebo to set up so we could be outside but the animals still had some shade.
I also loved the baskets you had for the animals so they were safe and comfortable the whole time.
Everyone commented on how fab the party so thank you for everything.
Best wishes

Residents had a great time meeting Billy the Kid Therapy Goat yesterday!
Billy certainly made lots of new friends during his visit and enjoyed plenty of cuddles, strokes and attention from our residents. His gentle nature brought lots of smiles, conversation and laughter throughout the home.
Some residents were so taken with Billy that they didn't want him to leave!
A huge thank you to Billy and his handler for visiting us and creating such a special afternoon for everyone.
