2025: "Within the country park at the north east of the park lies Manor Farm, a farm attraction with its own opening hours and pricing policy. It opened in 1984 as the Manor Farm museum and has since developed into a family-focused visitor attraction within the setting of the historic farmyard run by Hampshire County Council.[11]
The site includes historic buildings that link to the heritage of the site and the original museum including a forge, wheelwrights, farmhouse and Victorian schoolhouse.[11] The ancient duckpond and the neighbouring St Bartholomew's Church also form part of the location.
Popular activities on offer at the farm include daily animal interactions and feeding, story time and Victorian school lessons. Other on-site facilities include a visitor centre and gift shop in the 18th-century threshing barn,[12] a large indoor children's play area – the Playbarn – and a café for visitors,[12] as well as amenities such as toilets and an education centre for visiting school groups.[11]
Manor Farm was the location for the historical documentary TV series Wartime Farm, broadcast by the BBC in 2012.[13] "
