Looking for a unique day out with the family this June? Open Farm Sunday returns on Sunday 8th June, and this year Bisterne Farms near Ringwood is opening its gates to visitors for a fun-filled day celebrating British farming.


What Is Open Farm Sunday?

This nationwide event offers a rare opportunity to step behind the scenes of a working farm and experience the sights, sounds, and stories of rural life. Whether you’re curious about how your food is produced, or simply fancy a wholesome day out in the countryside, there’s plenty to explore.

Here’s some of what you can get up to at Bistern Farms:

  • Cheese-making demonstrations
  • Guided dairy tours
  • Farm tractor and trailer rides
  • Woodland crafts
  • Beekeeping displays
  • Fly fishing
  • Farm animals
  • Bushcraft and den building
  • Gun dog demonstrations
  • Local produce stalls

Entry is completely free, and the event runs from 10am to 3.30pm.

It’s a great way to connect with the local area, learn something new, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with plenty to keep entertained. Plus, donations on the day will go to support the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, so your day out will be helping a vital local cause.
