Free-to-enter Open Day at our Victorian farmyard workshops - music, bar, food, games and activities, local stalls, in aid of local charities
Visitors can explore the fascinating history of this Victorian farmyard, along with an exclusive peek into the many thriving businesses and workshops nestled in the beautiful Somerset countryside; each working to make their corner of the world a better and more interesting place to be.This historic Victorian farmyard has been in the Blake family since it was built in 1858. Francis and his wife Jane, the current generation, took on the farm in the mid 70’s, first farming organically, then, following a substantial fire in 1993, gradually converting the buildings with great care into its current vibrant community of 20 small businesses.
Come to the Open Day and you can: • Taste and buy lovely fresh produce from nearby smallholdings, including beer, cider and apple juice (bar and take away) • Play with Imagine Learn & Create’s “Fairground Games” • Enjoy live music from Blind Man Earl, Toadflux and the Yeovil Ukulele Band • Lunch and snacks from the wonderful "Cook House” • Artisan Coffee and Tea, and delicious cakes • See jewellery making and upholstery restoration in action • Purchase restored antiques and memorabilia and other up-cycled collectibles • Local stalls selling flowers, cards, pottery, etc • Find out about the history of this Victorian farm as it was 160 years ago, and its story since • Horse and cart rides • Come by bike and get a free MOT.
