Fancy cuddling chickens? Hosting kids parties? Driving a land train? Cooking pizza? Greeting the tens of thousands of excited guests who flock through our gates every year?

Then the award-winning Kent Life Heritage Farm Park, in Lock Lane, Sandling near Maidstone, has the right job just for you!

Kent Life is gearing up for another fun-filled year and is looking for staff to fill key roles at the family attraction, which celebrates Kent’s rich countryside and farming heritage. Our ideal candidates are friendly and outgoing, and passionate about delivering great guest service. You’ll be happy to get stuck in to all sorts of challenges, whatever the weather!

The 28-acre site that constitutes Kent Life has evolved through the years from the historic Sandling Farm, an area that formed part of the wider Allington Castle estate in the mid 16th century – stretching some 461 acres – and was owned by Thomas Wyatt.

The Allington Castle estate, later known as the Cobtree estate, was the property of the Tyrwhitt-Drake family.
It passed to the only son Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake who inherited it after his father passed away in the early 1900s. An eccentric man, Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake established a small zoo on the grounds and it is believed that he had a fascination for the Zebra, painting black and white stripes on a donkey so he could admire it from his manor! A charitable trust was set up for the Cobtree Estate in 1951.
