BACKGROUND
In June 1990 the Rollings family opened Fishers Farm as a visitor centre. The park has been improved steadily over the years, ploughing back money, time and love. Fishers is a multi-award winning attraction and has twice been voted in national awards as “Large Farm Attraction of the Year” and in 2020 we won ‘Best large visitor attraction’ in the south east.
The farm is open all year and we run seasonal events in the spring, summer, Halloween and Christmas.
The farm is divided into different departments – admin, livestock, reception/shop, catering, maintenance and adventure activities.
In 2021 we had 200k visitors!
The Rollings family continue to own and run the farm, and take pride in the “family run feel” of the business.
