What’s ON
Come and join in with some fun on the farm!
“What a fabulous and inspiring day - the company, the setting, still with some snow on the ground. We had such a lovely welcome… The results of our efforts were great, so all very happy, sharing together!”
Ann - Willow and Hazel Obelisk Workshop
We offer time and space for people to learn skills, gain knowledge, get to know local people and have some fun!
Here, you can book a range of workshops, events and activities for kids. We are not-for-profit, so by attending one of our events, you’ll be directly supporting the work we do to end rural homelessness.
You can also sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of the page to hear news from the farm and stay up to date.
If you have an idea for an event you would like to attend or offer, please get in touch with Joely at joely.mcgrath@rootconnections.co.uk
