If you're looking for a fun day out this weekend then you'll be pleased to know that Sunday 12th June 2022 is this year's Open Farm Sunday. This is an annual national event where working farms all around the country open their doors to visitors, many of them for free!
There are going to be hundreds of different events from farm walks though to full open days, and you can find out what your local farms have planned on the link below.
Open Farm Sunday
This has been a hugely popular event with families the past few years, and if you haven't been before then don't miss it, it really is a fab day out.
Each farm will have a variety of activities on offer to show families what life on a farm is like, and the majority of events are free of charge, though some will charge a small fee and others may require you to pre-book before you attend.
Activities during the day might include a farm walk, nature trail, tractor and trailer rides, pond dipping, activities for children, a mini farmers market or picnics, though as every farm is different the days at each one will be too.
You do need to check on the website to see which farms near you are participating, if any entrance fees apply, any pre-booking is needed and for timings. Please be aware that not all events will be taking place on 12th June (events can take place any weekend in June).
Open Farm Sunday looks like a fantastic opportunity for children to see what goes on at farms, and also to learn more about where their food comes from. Chuck in plenty of fresh air to tire out those kids, mud, animals and tractors and it looks like a great day out.
