Whirlow Hall Farm Trust’s Farm Fayre

Whirlow Hall Farm Trust’s Farm Fayre returns this July after four years away!

This Sunday 2nd July will see Whirlow Hall Farm Trust’s fields filled with a huge variety of activities to keep the whole family entertained all day; from Boney Fido Dog Training’s ‘have a go’ dog agility, to sampling some of Whirlow’s own wine and cider.

Dinosaurs

For the kids there are workshops, shows and entertainment, rides and slides, games, pony riding, dinosaurs, bubbles, crafts and more. There’s even a chance to meet and ride a unicorn, yes, a real unicorn of course! And once the adults are exhausted by all of that, there’s space to grab a deck chair and a drink from the bar, choose from a range of street food stalls, and listen to some live music.

The event runs from 11am – 4pm this Sunday 2nd July.

All the funds raised will go to supporting Whirlow’s work with vulnerable children and young people in our city.

Sarah Kerrigan, Head of Fundraising and Events at Whirlow said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring Farm Fayre back after an extended break. We are still feeling the aftereffects of the pandemic in places, so to have one of our biggest events of the year finally back feels amazing and will raise vital funds for the vulnerable children and young people we support here at the farm.”

Tickets are just £6 per adult, and children are free! To book your tickets visit. Whirlow Hall Farm Events
