Adventure, nature and delicious treats!
Summer is here and our organic farm is fluttering with butterflies! Children and their accompanying adults will team up to bake delicious butterfly cakes in a hands-on workshop with Bore Place's chef. With a bit of support from their accompanying adult, children will be guided to bake their very own cakes which they'll finish later in the day.
Once your cakes are in the oven, it's time to head outdoors on a guided butterfly walk! Keep your eyes peeled and spot fluttering wings as you explore the farm. Older children will learn how to identify common butterflies, while younger ones will be have fun spotting and counting the butterflies they see. The walk will take you through the wildflower meadow and into the market garden - are there different butterflies in each area?
After the walk, finish decorating your butterfly cakes, and enjoy them here or take them home as a sweet treat.
You are welcome to make a day of it and stay for the afternoon. The Green Man Glade play area has picnic benches and you can buy an ice cream from the Farm Gate, as well as other produce from the farm. You can visit the Milking Parlour Visitor Experience, too!
Please bear in mind that whilst we very much hope to spot butterflies (and we'll do our best to find them!) we cannot control the wildlife and there is a chance we won't see anything.
