Unfortunatly, Dernakesh Pet Farm has closed.

We would like to thank all those who visited and enjoyed the farm while it was open and who attended our many events. We thoroughly enjoyed entertaining all our many visitors and guests.

It was a wonderful journey and a great success.

Welcome

Welcome to Dernakesh Pet Farm, a family run visitor centre featuring animals from the four corners of the globe. The pet farm is set on a four acre site in Dernakesh situated just a couple of miles from Cootehill, along the Bailieboro road in the parish of Maudabawn, Co. Cavan. Our pet farm is an especially unique experience for every visitor, young or old. Here you can meet and interact with our growing and diverse range of animals, up close and personal with indoor and outdoor viewing facilities. This is truly an exceptional educational experience. Our complex, one of the largest indoor animal viewing facilities in Ireland, has been transformed into a wildlife haven with mural covered walls depicting our inhabitants. Its the perfect choice for a school tour, birthday party/special occasion or even just for a fun family day out witha difference!

Don't forget you can now follow us on Facebook!
