Join one of our talented butchers in the Goat Shed Butchery and get hands-on experience making your very own traditional pork sausages.

Learn the process of how we make our very own traditional pork sausages using locally farmed pork from The Allen’s at Morley Farm on the Holkham Estate in North Norfolk and take home what you make at the end of the course.

We will talk you through the basics of sausage making, the equipment, the ingredients needed, and the art of linking sausages before giving you the chance to mix, fill and link your very own sausages. Depending on the size and how well you link, you can take up to 30 of your very own sausages home to enjoy.

This workshop starts at 6:00pm, and is perfect for beginners, no previous experience is needed. After the workshop, you will have the opportunity to look around the farm shop and make any purchases if you wish.

Group bookings are available upon request.

He may be small, but Jack Brock has a big heart. This miniature Shetland pony has trotted his way into care homes and dementia units, bringing joy and smiles to it’s residents. In 2022, Jack was crowned Animal Hero of the Year and has raised over £25,000 for dementia charities. When Jack isn’t bringing a smile to people’s faces, you can find him at home with Ali – Jack’s loving owner – on their family farm, enjoying long walks and picnics.

Now, Jack’s bringing his magic to Goat Shed! So join us for a Halloween Tea session, where you’ll spend time with Jack and hear all about his adventures with Ali.

In this forty-minute session, you’ll enjoy 20–25 minutes with Jack in the marquee, along with a homemade carrot cake, cupcake and Halloween biscuit, plus a cup of tea or coffee (squash available for kids) and a Jack Brock themed activity pack. Jack’s book will also be available to purchase, with the chance to get it signed by Jack himself.
