What happens at a farm event
Supper clubs
Dinner on the farm, shared with the people who grew it.
Dinner on a working farm, cooked and eaten with the people who grew it. You hear the stories behind the ingredients, share the meal with people who care about where their food comes from, and talk about it together.
Dinner at farms around the country, with the people who grew your food
Open days
The farm opens its gates for the day: walk the fields, meet the animals, taste what the farm shop sells, and talk to the people who run the place. Each event page says exactly what that farm has planned.
Workshops and tastings
Smaller and hands on: a morning of cheesemaking, a butchery demonstration, a tasting in the dairy. The farmer teaches what they do all year, and you leave knowing how the food is actually made.
Farmers markets
Several farms in one place for a morning. Buy directly from the people who grew it, and put faces to the farms you have seen on the map.

Good to know
What is a farm supper club?
Dinner on a working farm, cooked and eaten with the people who grew it. At one of our supper clubs, you eat at the farm where the food was grown, with the farmer who grew it. You hear the stories behind the ingredients, share the meal with people who care about where their food comes from, and talk about it together.
How does booking work?
Every event page shows the date, the time, the price and the places left. Pick your places and pay online; a free event just asks you to book a place. If a host calls an event off, paid tickets are refunded automatically to the original payment method.
Where do farm events happen?
On working farms around the country: in the barn, at a long table in the field, in the dairy or the farm kitchen. Every event page names the farm, shows the address and links to the farm's own listing, so you can see who is hosting before you book.
