A family run business
Tim and Trina Rollings opened Fishers Farm to the public in June 1990. Along with their son Tom and wife Katie they still run it today. No CEIEIO’s here, just a family who want to have fun and share the fun with other families. Constantly striving to make Fishers Farm Park the best day out in Sussex, discover what makes us, egg-actly us.
Our story
The stable doors to Fishers Farm open for the very first time! The adventure is born – legen-dairy times await.
Transformation from farm to adventure farm begins, when we create the "Beach". The perfect place to cool off from a fun day playing on the farm.
Let the show begin! Our grand theatre opens for the first time. If you’re looking for entertainment or love a good moo-vie, you’ve come to the right pasture. It’s like poultry in motion.
The famous Jolly Fisher, our great farm-faring galleon was built by Geoff and Bill. The adventure is beginning to get udderly wild.
Hold your horses! Alpine Adventure is created. Glide and go ice skating like a penguin, take a turn on our twisty toboggan run, and dare to ascend the famous Beacon Hill Climb.
Tim wins Rural Hero 2009 in the Countryside Alliance Awards in the House of Lords. Hooray for doing the right thing for nature! No ‘winging it’ going on here – just hard work.
One cold night, in the depths of mid winter, Lucky the lamb, was born in the snow. Our founding father, Tim, found him and they all lived happily ever after.
Winners of ‘Best Customer Service’ in The County Times Business Awards. We love helping make sure families have the best day out at Fisher Farm – it’s what gives us the buzz!
Mel and Tim at the Southern Business Awards "winner" for best customer service. We must be doing something right, so why not milk it for all it’s worth?
We planted hedgerows at Carters field (where the horses graze) with Wisborough Green Primary School and the Sussex Wildlife Trust. Here at Fishers Farm, we’re all about com-moo-nity.
The adventure is about to get wet and wild as we change the Beach to become Splash Attack. A giant, colourful, exhilarating splash area – it’s the coolest place in Sussex during the summer. Just make sure you don’t go bacon in the sun!
Ready for a magical quest? So much more than a farm, Fishers Castle and Maze are built – a ready made retreat for young knights and princesses to gallop on over to.
Designed and installed Higgledy Village. Outdoor play, but indoors, this amazing play station is one of the first of its kind in the UK. Perfect for the winter months.
You may have herd about this, but we gave out free ice cream to all of our customers for World Kindness Day! Yum, yums for your tum, tums. We love ewe!
Ralph starts training and has his first day answering the phone (age 3). The next generation of Fishers custodians are ready for the fun to continue.
Roll up! Roll up! Our Fun Fair and Circus Soft Play opens for the first time! Always striving to provide maximum fun for the family, you can’t say we lack ham-bition here at Fishers Farm.
The word has got out – a day out at Fishers Farm Park is a quaking good day out for the family. We won "Large Visitor Attraction of the Year" in The Beautiful South Awards.
We gave away free tickets in exchange for highchairs for our restaurant that would have otherwise gone to landfill. We love to reuse, repair and recycle and generally help the planet in any way we can. Why wouldn’t you?
In the same year that the nation loses its Queen, Fishers Farm bid a terribly sad farewell to Spartacus, the horse. Some say he was the mane attraction. We hope you’re resting peacefully, dear gentle giant.
What makes
fishers, fishers
Firstly, and most importantly, we’re all about fun on the farm and we want you and your family to have the bestest day out with us. We strive to provide you with udderly brilliant times that ewe won’t forget in a hurry.
Foal, mole or vole… whatever your fur, size, need, or position, here at Fishers Farm Park we are proud to call all those who pass through the stable doors, one of our own.
At Fishers, we always try to make sure to listen to feedback to give everyone the best experience possible. Below is a section about what, why and how we do what we do!
What We've Done
We’ve ploughed through feed-baa-ck, we’ve listened to the chickens, and we’ve continually reinvested in innovative new concepts to make your day the best it can possibly bee. Family comes first – always – and as such the welfare of animals, team and visitors alike has always been of up-moo-st importance.
From humble beginnings as a fruit picking farm, campsite, and a handful of animals, to an award winning farm park welcoming over 200,000 visitors a year today – here at Fishers, we remain committed to delivering a bloomin’ great value for money experience, for all.
What were doing
Like a nestling egg – all cosy, rosy and ready to roost – here at Fishers Farm, we’re all about creating a culture of kindness and care for all of our customers, animals and team members. Never one’s to stay in the stable, we foster a progressive mindset, with a keen focus on sustainability, accessibility, health and wellbeing being at the core of every decision we make.
Oh, and you know how we love giving you folks something new to chomp on once in a while? Well, we’ve been busy developing our short break stays with the introduction of some delightful holiday cottages, Posh Pods (oh, fancy) and overnight stays to make your time at Fishers that bit, extra special. Watch this space or stay right up to date by following our socials.
Why we do what we do
To be outstanding in our field! What else? It’s incredibly important to us, udderly paramount in fact, to create an experience that is super safe, great value, ridiculously fun and enjoyed by everyone in your family.
As a family ourselves we know all too well how important the cleanliness of the facility, the friendliness of your welcome and the stress-free pattern of your day are the three key elements of a great day out. What with Nancy needing a nappy change, Timmy and his wobbly tooth, and the new buggy that you can’t for the life of you work out, quite frankly, there’s enough to worry about, isn’t there?
It matters to us that you and your family make great memories with us, so rest assured, safe in the knowledge of a wise ol’ barn owl, that we have done, are doing, and will do everything in our power to continue to make this happen.
What do you
think we could
do better?
We are one team and it is important to us that you enjoy your time with us. We welcome your thoughts, suggestions, ideas and opinions (grumpy or happy!) – any of our team would love to hear from you.
