Free Day Out With Open Farm Sunday

By Naomi Willis | last updated 4th June 2018 Leave a Comment

Open Farm Sunday on 10 June 2018 allows free access to real working farms all over the country – perfect day out for your family.

Bored of scouring the internet, looking for free or mega cheap things to do to keep your family entertained?

Most things I come across cost an arm and a leg so we just don’t bother.

But, just occasionally, a total gem of a FREE day out appears!

Open Farm Sunday

On 10 June 2018, farms up and down the UK are opening their doors to the general public for the Great British Farm Day.

Each year since 2006, working farms have welcomed more than two million people to see what really happens in the world of farming.

You’ll be able to get an understanding of food and how farming affects our everyday lives but, more importantly, the kids will have great fun taking part in demonstrations, displays and meeting some farm animals.

What can you do during Open Farm Sunday?

Open Farm Sunday

Each farm works in a different way and will have different facilities.

Depending on the farm, you will be able to:

  • Meet the animals
  • See machinery demonstrations
  • Go on a hosted farm tour
  • Watch static machinery display
  • Have tractor and trailer rides
  • Enjoy self-guided walks
  • Visit the farm shop and fresh produce
  • Understand science in farming

While this is usually a free event, some farms will ask for a £1 donation. This doesn’t go to the farm but is given to charities.

In 2017, an estimated £80,000 was raised at LEAF Open Farm Sunday for charities such as LEAF, Air Ambulance, RABI, cancer charities, as well as local schools and churches.

Do check details of your local farm before you head out as each one offers different facilities.

Some will allow you to bring your dog, some will have better wheelchair accessibility than others, and some will have catering on site (if you forget your picnic).
