The Pink Pig Farm has been creating family memories, championing outdoor play, and bringing people together in the North Lincolnshire countryside for 25 years! What started as a simple farm gate venture has grown into one of the region's best-loved attractions, welcoming visitors from across North Lincolnshire and beyond.
The story began in 1999 with a trestle table at the end of the farm drive, selling home-produced eggs, cakes, sausages, bacon and pork. As support from local customers grew, so did the vision. By 2001, a small farm shop and café had opened, laying the foundations for what would become The Pink Pig Farm we know and love today.
Over the years, the business evolved alongside the needs of local families. Animal trails, play areas and visitor experiences were gradually added, before a major milestone arrived in 2014 with the opening of the indoor Play Barn. From jumping pillows and tractor rides to climbing areas, sandpits and adventure play, Pink Pig Farm has continued investing in opportunities for children to enjoy fresh air, imagination and outdoor fun.
Like any great local success story, the journey has not been without its challenges. The farm has adapted through changing times, including the closure of its farm shop in 2018, and showed remarkable resilience following the devastating arson attack that destroyed the much-loved Hay Bale PlayBarn in 2025. The overwhelming support from the local community helped the team recover, leading to the opening of a brand-new covered outdoor play barn in 2026.
The Pink Pig Farm has remained rooted in North Lincolnshire's community spirit. Families who visited as children now return with children of their own, creating a legacy of shared memories that spans generations.
