We have lots for you to see and do this year and activities suitable for all the family.
- 1.45pm- 2.45 approx...Guided Farm Walk. Join us for a short guided walk around our Organic sheep, cattle and arable farm to see how our calves and lambs are bred and reared. (please book in advance to give us an idea of numbers and be at meeting point in yard at 1.30pm) )
- 3pm-3.45pm approx...Help A Hedgehog Hospital talk. Learn all about Hedgehogs with the Help a Hedgehog Hospital who will be giving a talk and hopefully bringing in a hedgehog or two!
- 4pm-4.45pm approx. Sheep dog demo. You've seen "One Man and his Dog" but how do they teach them to do it? Learn about the trials and tribulations of training a young collie to work sheep.
- 1pm to 5pm... Open Garden and Plant Sale. Wander round the garden, browse the plant stall and stock up on some fantastic plants for your own garden, just in time for summer. Plants include a specialist selection of Hybrid and Species Primula Auriculas, unusual and rare herbaceous perennials, Fuchsias, annual bedding and young vegetable plants. For those who would like to grow veg but don't have the space, we are giving away loads of BIG plastic tubs suitable to grow runner beans, tomatoes, courgettes and salad crops in and perfect for potatoes! Take as many home with you as you need.
- 4.30pm - 5pm...Lamb feeding. Meet the orphan lambs in the "lamb crèche" and help bottle feed them at tea-time.
- Have a look at the food and farming displays and grab loads of freebies
- Buy or pre-order some of our organic beef and lamb
- From 3pm to 4.30pm. Cream Teas.... Scone, Jam and cream and a mug of tea or coffee or a cold drink £2.50 And at the end of all that, why not sit down and treat yourselves to a cream tea, the proceeds of which will be donated to our nominated charity, Tree of Life For Animals (TOLFA), who provide veterinary care for street dogs and farm livestock in India. Information about TOLFA will be on display nearby. A proportion will also go to Help a Hedgehog Hospital in Stroud.
Entrance is free but donations to TOLFA and Help A Hedgehog Hospital are very welcome.
Don't worry if the weather lets us down as there will still be lots of things to see and do under cover in the barns.
Don't forget to bring your walking boots and it's a good idea to come prepared with wellies and coats just in case!
It's fine for you to bring your dog and drinking water will be available but please make sure you keep him or her on a lead during your visit.
Event runs from 1pm to 5pm.
Toilet and hand washing facilities are available in the house.
