A Huge Thank You to our Amazing Occombe Team 💚

To every member of our Occombe team, past and present — thank you for everything you’ve given. Your dedication, warmth, and creativity have shaped Occombe into the wonderful place so many have come to love.

Your passion, hard work, and smiles have brought the farm to life every single day — caring for our animals, serving delicious food in the Café, welcoming our visitors and creating unforgettable experiences for families, schools, community groups and friends.

And to all our visitors, volunteers, and supporters — thank you for being part of our story. Your visits, laughter and encouragement have meant the world to us.

💚 A message from us 💚

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Occombe Farm, including our Farm Café and Farm Park & Play attraction has closed.

Sadly, our parent charity, Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust (TCCT), is taking steps to go into liquidation.

We know this news will come as a huge disappointment to our visitors, members, and the local community. Occombe has been a place for families to make memories, for children to learn, and for people of all ages to connect with nature.

We are deeply proud of what we have built together and enormously grateful for the support, smiles, and loyalty you have shown us over the years.

Our priority now is to support our staff and volunteers through this difficult time.

💚 Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Occombe story – we will always treasure the role this special place has played in Torbay.
