This Sunday is Open Farm Sunday around the UK! Open Farm Sunday first started in 2006 and now over 1000 farmers across the UK are welcoming people onto their farm for one Sunday each year.
This day is a fantastic opportunity to take along the children so that they can see all the hard work that goes into producing our food and managing the countryside. Entry is free but there may be a small charge at some farms for additional activities.
