Join us at Mary Arden’s Farm this summer for a series of special community events that promise fun for all the family

On selected Saturdays across the summer, we will be opening the gates of Mary Arden's to our community and friends to enjoy for free.

19 and 26 July

16 and 23 August

You'll have the opportunity to explore the farm, with a guided tour of Palmer’s Farmhouse, and see our collection of heritage breed animals. You and your family will be able to witness some traditional crafts in action.

Our friends from the Arts Rising Collective, based at the newly opened Brook Arts Hub, will host creative spaces where visitors can witness some of what you can expect to see, and be part of, at the Hub.

You can also speak to members of the SBT volunteering team and discover what opportunities are available across the Trust, as well as the benefits of becoming a volunteer.

Visitors can bring a picnic with them to enjoy during their visit but as a working farm we do ask that all food and drink is consumed within the designated picnic areas only using picnic benches.

There will also be a selection of refreshments, including hot and cold drinks, crisps, cakes, ice cream and snacks available to purchase, thanks to Horse Cart Hospitality. They will be located in the main car park where picnic tables and benches will be provided.

Water bottle filling stations are available across the property.

As most of the activities take place outside with only some under cover, visitors are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear and clothing for changeable weather conditions and a farm setting.

We are excited to welcome visitors to our Community Events at Mary Arden’s Farm. To minimise the impact on local residents and to ensure a smooth and safe experience for everyone, please take note of the following parking information:
