Engaging farm and woodland activities for children aged 2 to 4 with their carers.
Engaging farm and woodland activities for children aged 2 to 4 with their carers.
At Muddy Mice, we are dedicated to nurturing a love for nature and farming in young children. Our activities are designed to be both educational and fun for children and their grown-up to enjoy together. We provide a safe environment for you to explore. Based on a working farm in Harpenden, your little ones will enjoy meeting our animals, immersing themselves in nature...and literally into puddles! Our small groups sessions are 45mins, but sometimes we get carried away, so please allow 1hr! Sessions start in our woodland den and then we head out for fun adventures around the farm.

Farmer Emma is the founder of Muddy Mice. She lives on the farm where she can look after her chickens and help Farmer Stuart with the animals.
An original attendee of Muddy Mice with her son, Farmer Jenny now helps Farmer Emma at Muddy Mice. She is from a farming family and loves big tractors!
Farmer Jane loved bringing her children to Muddy Mice so much, that when we asked her to join the team in 2023 , she jumped at the chance! She is a lover of nature and experienced teacher.
Be sure to give Farmer Chas a big wave when you see him hard at work on the farm. He's usually busy feeding the animals, fixing machines or taking us on exciting tractor and trailer rides around the farm.
Bingo is a weekly feature here at Muddy Mice, we greet him at the start of each session by singing his favourite songs.
Billy is a fond, but grumpy member of the team.
They arrived on the farm in May 2024 as tiny piglets. Not so small now, they enjoy their muddy sty next to the chickens.
Alfie and Darci are two friends from their days on the beach giving children rides. They are enjoying their retirement at the farm, especially when the Muddy Mice children feed them carrots!
