Summer Open Day
Join us at River Cottage HQ for our Summer Open Day.
On Wednesday 23rd August 2023 we’ll be opening the farm gates to everyone, giving you the chance to explore River Cottage HQ and relax in the beautiful Axe Valley.
Wander up pig lane and see our mummy pig, Lucille and her piglets frolicking in their pens. Our chickens will be pecking around in their orchards and the sheep can always be entrusted to be nibbling some grass somewhere on site!
We’ll have our organic bar open for hot and soft drinks as well as our range of alcoholic beverages for the non-drivers.
No visit to River Cottage is complete without a delicious morsel or two, so our chefs will be cooking up a storm, so whether you want lunch or just a snack, you can expect something tantalizing that’s journeyed from farm to fork.
We try to make sure there’s something for everyone, with vegan and gluten free options available.
We have 100 acres of glorious land to wander, and we'll have some games available to keep you amused, but please feel free to bring a ball, frisbee or picnic blanket to make the most of our land.
Tickets are free for both adults and children.
