Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats is the only registered goat charity in the UK, and is home to well over 100 goats of all different shapes and sizes.  Come and visit these charismatic animals in their home of ancient parkland, and learn about their different stories and personalities.  We are open to the public on Sundays, an opportunity to come and observe the goats in a peaceful state and enjoy some interaction with our residents, with goat food available for purchase.  

A range of events can also be booked, such as husbandry courses, birthday parties and goat keeper for the day experiences.  However you chose to discover Buttercups, you will thoroughly enjoy this unique experience.  A great day out for all the family!  For more information please visit our website.

The very best of spring

It’s finally here! After a long winter, the buds are appearing and we’re ready for Kent to start bursting into bloom! From vineyard tours, to canoe trips and afternoons spend under the canopy of a forest, we cannot wait to get out in nature and celebrate the arrival of spring. So sit back and allow us to share some of those not-to-be-missed moments coming up this season.
