Half term is the ideal time to get out and about with kids, especially as it’s the first holiday since Christmas. We’ve got our fingers crossed that the weather cheers up., but as the saying goes, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing”.
For so many of our stockists, family is at their heart: owning/running them or attracting families to spend time on their land or in their shops. There are so many reasons to visit farm shops and independents whether it’s to shop (butchery, fish, deli, fresh produce (and our products), spend time with friends over a coffee or a meal or let the kids have some fun.
So we’ve picked a few of our stockists who have half term events running to keep the younger members of the family entertained (and parents/carers a break). So pop on your wellies and enjoy…

Priory Farm Estate in Nutfield, has their own Discovery Land – an all-season family nature trail set amongst 40 acres of countryside.
