A day out to the farm is known as a rite of passage for families in Wirral and Merseyside.
In recent years Pawprints Wildlife Rescue Centre has taken over the running of the farm, which is staffed by volunteers and funded by donations.
"What the big problem is getting the public to realise that this is not a council owned facility, it’s owned and run by a trust and your donations are really important"
Families can visit the sheep, goats, donkeys, alpacas and more, but also take part in art classes and educational talks.
"Together we can turn back time. We want Tam O’Shanter Farm to become a caring compassionate space where animals live in sanctuary, teaching us about their lifestyles and needs but remaining with us for the whole of their natural lives."
