WELCOME TO Cassiobury Farm 

The site that is now Cassiobury Farm was once part of the grounds of Cassiobury House, the ancestral home of the Earls of Essex. Derelict for three decades, the site has been through a decade-long restoration project to create an idyllic 15-acre venue encompassing a 70-species farm and exotic animal conservation collection, a carp and course fishery, wellness studio and farm shop.
