Our programme of events keeps changing - but here is our current calendar. We hope you will find something of interest and enjoy your visit.
A few things to bear in mind for all visits:
- booking is essential for all events
- we are a working farm, so take account of the usual hazards - machinery, water, rough ground, etc
- wellies and waterproofs are recommended in wet weather
- dogs are welcome on our walks (but not in farm buildings) ... we just ask owners to keep them on a lead and pick up anything they leave behind!
Please contact us on 01803 762074 or by email events@riverford.co.uk to book a place on the following events (unless we mention otherwise).
