The Big Sheep
The BIG Sheep has a long history of creating fun days out. Having been around for over 30 years we know what makes a family smile! For a timeline, you can view our 30 years of fun infographic!
The Big Sheep was founded by Rick Turner in 1988 and was once a busy working farm in the North Devon countryside, run by six generations of the Turner family.
When local farming started to diversify, Rick and his family decided to open the barn doors and welcome other families in to see the animals, experience feeding times and to see the workings of a day to day farm set in Devon.
As the years went on The BIG Sheep developed its offering to include the largest rollercoaster in Devon, many live shows and events including their world-famous sheep racing, and the newest attraction…the gin distillery.
As it continues to grow, more and more visitors go to The BIG Sheep year after year!
Although much bigger than they could have ever thought possible, Rick is still head of the flock and his passion for farming and The BIG Sheep is still as strong today as it was back in 1988.
