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.

Festive Fun
Christmas Trees at The Macs Farm
Come and join us at the farm on 5th and 6th December, where we will have a huge selection of beautiful Nordmann Fir Christmas trees for sale. While you’re here collecting your tree, we will have a brilliant band with some live festive music for you to listen to. Our street food diners will be serving a mouth-watering selection of festive foods and our Old Chook Shed bar will be open serving mulled wine, hot chocolates and a wide range of other alcoholic, soft and hot drinks along with a cheeky mince pie or two.

We are so excited for our family festival this year, and will be holding it over an entire weekend! We will now have camping available for those of you who want to stay with us over both days.
