A family farm in the Sussex countryside
150 acres of rolling green fields and ancient woodland, ten minutes from Haywards Heath. A cafe, a play barn, a woodland trail, a farm shop and a whole year of things to look forward to.
Welcome to the farm
Goddenwick has been our family home since 1984. With 150 acres of rolling green fields, ancient Sussex woodland and a working farm at its heart, it's somewhere to spend a whole day rather than an hour: bring the children, bring your wellies, and bring an appetite for something sweet from Roost.

The bits people always ask: what needs booking, and what you can just turn up for.
Christmas Trees
No need to book, just come along once the season opens. Santa's Grotto is booked ahead through West Sussex Mind.
Find your tree →What's on
From live music on Saturdays to Christmas on the farm. Tickets for the big ones go quickly.
Where better to learn than at a Christmas tree farm? Make your own wreath in our workshop above the Christmas shop, guided by our florist Gemma of The Chestnut Flower Company. Your £55 ticket includes all materials, a festive drink such as mulled wine, and mince pies or cakes. Friday sessions 9:30am to 12pm or 1:30pm to 4pm, Saturday 9am to 11:30am.
Pick your own or freshly cut trees, the Bauble Barn Christmas shop, the reindeer, festive food stalls with live music at weekends, and Santa's Grotto in its Lapland-inspired cabin. No booking needed to choose a tree.
Getting here
You'll find us on Ardingly Road just outside Lindfield, an easy hop from Haywards Heath and a lovely excuse for a drive through the Sussex lanes.
