These events offer a unique opportunity to lift the lid off River Cottage and find out exactly what we do here. For just £10 you’ll gain a rare chance to explore Park Farm, talk to members of the team and why not enjoy some delicious, home-cooked River Cottage fare whilst you are here.

Please note children under 12 years old are completely free

On arrival, you’ll be able to take yourself on a tour of the veg gardens, orchard and farm, where you will be able to see our happy livestock and horticultural work in progress. The team will be on hand to answer any of your questions about our organic gardening and farming methods.    

You will be able to watch a mini demo hosted by one of our brilliant contributors, such as our butcher Ray Smith, or wild food expert John Wright before, enjoying a lunch from the barbecue cooked by our chefs.  You can also try our organic four-ingredient-only real ice cream!

Running through the summer, when the garden is at its most abundant, these events are designed to give you a real feel for River Cottage, and offer an amazing insight into what we do and why we do it. We hope to see you soon!
