This summer, Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park has a whole host of events on offer, including the usual Farm Park fun, a circus, a country music festival and Flower Fields. With families able to make the most of the offering, returning for free with the all-new Return for Free Ticket. Exclusively available throughout the summer holidays, visitors can visit once and return free of charge between 19th July and 31st August.
Events taking place throughout the summer holidays and included within Farm Park General Admission include bottle feeding, a seasonal trail, and a changing rotation of animal encounters. Not only that, the Ox Shed restaurant kitchen has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment and will be serving a delicious summer menu from the all-new, state-of-the-art kitchen. D’Arcy’s Crêperie will be taking up residency in the Ox Shed Beer Garden too, serving their trademark crepes and other sweet treats.
Bottle feeding will take place twice daily at 11:30am and 3:30pm in the animal barns, offering visitors the chance to feed the cutest newborn lamb and goat kids. The animal encounters will take place twice daily at 10:30am and 2:30pm in the Discovery Barn and will rotate between guinea pig feeding, pig brushing, and chicken interactions. Tractor rides will be taking place every day from 10am, taking visitors around the usually shut-off farming areas and giving a sneak peek into the behind-the-scenes action on the farm.
Couples looking for a special date setting may be interested in the ultimate Flower Field experience, comprising a romantic picnic nestled amongst the beautiful florals. The package includes entry into the flower fields, a freshly made packed picnic basket put together by the talented on-site chefs, a picnic blanket, and a bunch of gorgeous blooms to pick and take home (basket and blanket to be returned). Pre-booking online is required.
Each Wednesday evening from 23rd July to 3rd September, the Flower Fields transform for Sunflower Sessions. Entry is free from 2pm to 9pm, and a local favourite food truck will be pitching up from 4pm, accompanied by a stocked bar and live music. Guests can enjoy food from local favourites such as Beefy Boys, Oink, Brisket Brothers and more throughout the holidays.
Roll up, roll up! For the very first time, the circus is coming to the farm! Taking place from 15th to 17th August. The animal-free circus will delight and entertain all ages with three shows each day, running inside the Big Top. With two 45-minute daytime performances at 11am and 2pm, followed by a full evening show which combines the two earlier performances at 7pm, there’s something to cater to all age groups and audiences.
