Summer of fun at Rutland Farm Park

Rutland Farm Park is preparing for a summer of fun, with numerous family events throughout August.

It begins on Saturday 3rd August with a charity fun day in memory of Les Large, a beloved member of the farm family. Taking place from 11.30 – 4.30, the event, supporting St Barnabas Hospice, will feature a bouncy castle, hook a duck, welly wanging, cake stall (donations welcome), wine or water (donations of wine welcome), and tombola, alongside food, ice cream and lots more. Business stands are also welcome with a pitch fee of £15 for the charity (to book email admin@rutlandfarmpark.co.uk).

Meanwhile, on Monday 12th August, keep an eye out for Alice in Wonderland. And on August Bank Holiday Weekend enjoy princesses and pirates and themed activities, with children in costume receiving a free bag or bucket of animal feed to enjoy a hands-on experience with friendly farm animals (book online).

The events come on top of activities throughout the summer holidays, including woodland cooking on Tuesdays (11.30 – 3.00) and crafts in the pigsty on Wednesdays (11.00 – 3.00). Daily activities further include pony grooming (11.00 – weather permitting), guinea pig cuddles (11.30 & 3.00), and meeting and feeding the cows (12.00).
