  Open Farm Sunday free entry to 90+ farms

  Including socially distanced walks, machinery displays and tours. Excludes NI

  Expired

  The LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) Open Farm Sunday event is back after being closed last year due to the pandemic. So get your wellies ready, round-up your herd and get moo-ving because this Sun 27 Jun, over 100 farms re-open their gates.

  This year due to Covid restrictions events are smaller and you need to pre-book. 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 your place. Spaces may be limited, so don't be sheepish. 

  LEAF has told us there won't be as many activities taking place this year, but instead there will be the following:

  • Machinery displays – some farmers will invite local vintage tractor clubs to put on a display
  • Self-guided walks  – each farm is different, but some will have birding and wildflower walks
  • Farm tours – a farmer or host will give you a group talk and tour of their farm, with some lasting up to 1.5 hours
    

  Each farm is unique with different farm activities, different wildlife, different landscapes etc, so it might be worth taking a look at the event and farm descriptions to see what's available. For example, we spotted a milking demonstration at a farm in Norfolk, sheep shearing and sheepdog demonstrations in Lancashire, and meeting Highland cows in Stirlingshire.

  If there isn’t a farm near you to visit, take a look at the 'Scavenger Hunt' activity to keep the family entertained on a local walk. You can also download the 'Countryside Code' for guidance on how to respect the countryside and those who manage the land whilst you're trotting around.

  Out of the 104 farms included, 95 have free entry – six of which have said there will be fees for some activities including £1 tractor and trailer rides. LEAF has told us nine farms will be charging an entrance fee this year – see the list of prices for each farm.

  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.

  On Sun 9 June, grab your wellies, round up your herd and get moo-ving to the annual LEAF Open Farm Sunday event, which has proved popular in past years with MoneySavers looking for a baaa-gain day out.

  MSE Oli says:

  Most farms are free to enter (about 95%), but others will charge a fee (usually £1-£10) or ask for a donation. 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. 

  The activities vary at each farm – examples include lamb feeding, welly wanging, pony rides, egg collecting, sheep shearing, face painting, walking tours, and tractor rides (some may require a charge). You might need to book ahead for some farms or activities so don't be sheepish, check out the details online.
