About Us

About Us

Since opening on February 17th, 1996, Rand Farm Park has grown from a humble pig farm into a cherished family attraction. What began with just 110 visitors has flourished into a destination where fun, education, and value-for-money experiences come together for all ages and abilities.

In our early days, visitors often became friends, pitching in with farm tasks and making lifelong memories. Many young people had their first jobs here, forming friendships that lasted beyond their time at the park. Today, former staff return with their own families, keeping the tradition alive.

Building on this legacy, Rand Festival launched in 2021 and is now celebrating its fifth year. Rooted in the ethos of Rand Farm Park, the festival has become a premier event, offering live music, animal experiences, inflatables, indoor and outdoor play, and hands-on learning activities.

Whether visiting the farm or joining the festival, we promise unforgettable moments for the whole family.
