On 17th February 1996, Rand Farm Park opened its doors for the first time and welcomed 110 visitors, although many were family and friends!
There have been many changes over the years, from an original pig farm to the Family Attraction of today but the ethos remains the same – “to offer a fun, educational but good value for money day out for visitor of all ages and abilities.” In the early days, many of our visitors became friends and indeed often helped to clear tables, check on animals, look after Joshua etc whilst visiting.
Many young people have been given their first jobs at Rand Farm Park and indeed lasting friendships were often born through Saturday jobs working here. It was and still is hard work but lots of fun and happy memories are made and enjoyed along the way.
Many staff have come and gone… only to return with their own families some years later
Hopefully you will remember our iconic photo of a cute little boy holding a rabbit… but we have included here a couple of photos of ourselves from the early days
