Open Farm Sunday free entry to 220+ farms

Including tours, welly-wanging & tractor rides. Excludes Northern Ireland
Get your wellies ready, round up your herd and get moo-ving because on Sunday 8 June, over 220 farms will open their gates for the LEAF (Linking Environment & Farming) Open Farm Sunday event.
To find out if your local farm is participating, use this Farm Finder – it lists all the info for each farm's event, including opening times and how to book. Entry to each farm differs, although many will require you to book prior to attending and spaces may be limited.
The majority (about 90%) are free, however some may charge for activities, car parking, or a nominal entrance fee, which you can check on the farm's event listing. If no entrance fee is mentioned on the website, it shouldn't be charging, although it's best to check with the farm before you trot on down.

Some of the activities taking place at farms include:
-
Tractor and trailer rides
-
Guided farm walks
-
Farm machinery demonstrations
-
Meeting the animals, including sheep shearing and milking demonstrations
-
Bug hunts
-
Soil science and worm charming
-
Welly-wanging
-
Learning about wildlife on farms
-
Seeing how farmers farm with nature
Each farm is unique with different farm activities, wildlife, landscapes and the like, so it's worth taking a look at the event and farm descriptions to see what's available.
For an idea of what you can expect on the day, here's a YouTube video produced by Open Farm Sunday on last year's event:

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
