As well as being a working farm we also love opening our gates and holding a range of family friendly events. We run a full series of events all year round right here on our farm and grounds. From Spring to Christmas, there’s always something to see!
This month we are pleased to welcome Róisín Ward Morrow and Breifne Holohan.
