Open Farm Sunday

Ragley Estate Farm is a LEAF marque certified farm, and we are delighted to partner with LEAF’s annual Open Farm Sunday programme to open up the farm to visitors.

There will be displays of farm machinery, animals and crops with experts from Ragley and other local businesses on hand to answer questions. LEAF will also be providing some children’s craft activities and there will be refreshments available plus a picnic area.

Due to limited parking and facilities at our farm, this will take place in the park surrounding Ragley Hall – with a guided tractor & trailer tour from the park to the farm. This gives visitors the chance to understand more about our sheep and crops, and some of the environmental programmes we are involved with.

Spaces are limited to 500 tickets. We are making a small charge for entry to cover some external costs, to help make your experience fun and informative.

For those wishing to attend using a wheelchair, we will do our best to accommodate you on a farm tour. Please contact us to discuss before booking. (Please note that whilst there is some hardstanding area, the majority of displays will be on grass fields.)

More information about the LEAF Open Farm Sunday initiative can be found on their WEBSITE
