We would just like to thank everyone who has visited us over the past 31 years. We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our love of butterflies with you all and hope that you will continue to appreciate these beautiful creatures. We'd like to say a special thanks to all the wonderful staff we've had through the years. We couldn't have done it without you!

Thanks again everyone!

Just a reminder to all of our lovely followers that this will be the last weekend that the Butterfly Farm will be open. We will be closing at 5.30pm on Sunday 30th August. If you plan on visiting, we advise that you get there early (opens at 11am) as it has been extremely busy for the past few weeks and we want to ensure you get the most from your visit. The busiest period is between 12.30 and 3.30.
