fun on the farm
Macs Farm Events
Our farm is completely unique. As well as being a working farm we also love opening our gates and holding a range of family friendly events.
These have included Barn Dances, Sausage and Cider Nights, Film Nights, Foraging, Nature Walks, Foodie Events and our wonderful family festival, Wild Meadows.
We are always dreaming up of different ways to welcome you to our farm and are so excited to holding our first ever Gin and Groove night in May. We will also be opening up on most Saturdays during our camping season for the most delicious street food and live music, so that you can join us for a chilled evening in our fields.
Please keep an eye on our website and social media to keep up to date with all the goings on. Check out this years events below and click away to find out all the details and make a booking.
