I booked the piggy walk and pig-nic as a surprise birthday gift for my pig-loving dad and we had the most wonderful afternoon. We took the three kunekune pigs out... read more for a walk in the beautiful countryside near Brecon. The pigs are full of character and you really got to know their personalities. We ended the walk with a splash about in the river. After the walk we had a lovely pig-nic, with yummy cakes, tea and coffee, strawberries and squash. I would thoroughly recommend the pig walk for anyone with a love of pigs or just wanting to do something a bit different.

  We had a fantastic time at West Wales Hedgehog Rescue 2 weeks ago, myself never seen a hedgehog in person and with Hedgehogs being my favourite animal it truly was... read more an amazing experience and one i wont forget. I was able to hold a couple of Hedgehogs and taken many pictures from the experience.

Di was so knowledgeable and a fantastic host for the morning, her knowledge and experience over the years with rescuing Hedgehogs and animals back to health is truly inspirational (we literally could listen to her for hours!). There was so much we never knew about Hedgehogs and learning how to care for them and identify when they need help is fantastic.

The work that Di & her volunteers do is such great work and dedication and time they all put in, this experience has certainly made me explore options to volunteer at my local Hedgehog rescue centre.

I don’t think there is anything i would change from this experience, we were offered tea, coffee and biscuits and the morning kind of flowed how we wanted, Di asked what we wanted from the morning so it could be tailored to us on the experience.

On a final note, i would like to thank yourself Julia for the great service we have received as well throughout the booking process and i hope we can book another experience through you soon.

  I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. My daughter loves pigs so thought this would be a fantastic gift.
So pleased I got my daughter the... read more gift voucher she had a wonderful time, including myself and my husband. It was a lovely couple of hours meeting and walking with the pigs, they are real characters!
Helena was very informative and the well being of the pigs is very important to her.
After the walk we came back to sit in the garden and had tea/coffee and delicious cakes.
Would highly recommend this experience.

  Great afternoon out!

I bought the Pig-Nic as a gift through Good Day Out. It came with a nice little voucher and plenty of info about the experience and... read more how to book.

The walk itself is in a beautiful area of the Brecon Beacons, which warrants a visit even without the pigs! But it was an amazing experience to walk with the girls - Holly, Hazel and Willow - and find out about their (rather luxurious!) life on the farm. Helena was very welcoming, informative and happy to answer a barrage of questions.

My partner and I thought we'd stand out amongst the families with small children, but were surprised to find that we were part of an all-adult group. This is part of the appeal of the activity: it really is for all ages to enjoy. Physically, the walk is very gentle and dictated by the pace of the pigs (or, more accurately, by how often they're fed! ) and you'd struggle to find somebody not won over by their charm.

At the end of the walk we were served a very welcome selection of tea, coffee and cake in the garden. In the excitement of meeting the pigs I'd almost forgotten about the picnic, but I was pleasanly surprised; great selection, delicious and plenty to go around.

I was also pleased to find out that the activity supports the charity Retiremutt - antother incentive to book!

Thoroughly recommended :)

  This was a lovely thing to do. We did struggle to find the meeting point but probably because we didn’t follow the directions fully!!!!! The donkeys were really... read more cute - we took Maverick and Goose for a walk across the fields accompanied by Julie. Firstly though we had to give them a brush. The walk included a stop for a little snack - the donkeys loved the apple core. The view was stunning. Would highly recommend this as something to do.

  We recently went on the Pig Walk/Pig-nic. It was fab...we really enjoyed it. You take 3 pigs on a group walk up a lane and to a river, tempting them... read more with food. It's not a long walk as you can't expect them to walk that far but it's a lovely, interactive experience. They are gorgeous, friendly, funny little piggies and seem happy to walk along. Helena put on a lovely afternoon tea with cakes and provided us with wellies. I do have to admit that at £30 each, I thought it was slightly expensive for what it was as we also did the Sheep Walk which was only £5 extra and that seemed to be more of an 'experience' as we had a sheep each on a lead (but it was obviously with very different animals). It was really enjoyable and it was great fun to meet the piggies though so I don't want to take it away from that and part of the cost is donated to a specified charity.

  My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful relaxing afternoon in Brecon last Saturday walking with 3 friendly, cute Kune Kune piggies. They were rescued pigs who are very well looked... read more after and happy to walk with a small group of us along the quiet country road, to a stream and then back to their field. We then tucked into a delicious pignic ( tea and cake ) while they had an afternoon nap. We have some lovely memories of the afternoon and would highly recommend this adventure.

  We booked this as a group walk, as a surprise for a family that were visiting with us for the week. They were ever so surprised and actuallyit was... read more the dad had the most fun feeding the pigs as we walked!

The pigs are adorable and we had a unique and memorable experience with animals that just have so much character! We ended the day with a delicious cream tea and Julia was very accommodating with endless refills of lemonade and tea. Thank you so much!

  We had the most enjoyable and informative morning with Di at West Wales Hedgehog rescue, no more than 4 in the group at any time so a very personal experience.... read more We watched Di “toilet” and feed 4 hoglets , and then we were able to make the acquaintance of a slightly older and very inquisitive hoglet, Tom. The work that’s put into tending these little creatures is a 24 hour job, with something like 24 residents at that time, and in fact while we were there we had the experience of a lady bringing a further 5 to the house, found by her dog. Sadly one already dead, but we saw first hand the whole operation swing into place. It was a memorable morning, and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough
