About the event

This is part of a series of collaborative events between Village Farm with Tom and Lisa Martin, and the Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs and Northants.

In this family event, we'll be investigating freshwater wildlife by pond dipping with Wildlife Adventurer Becca Badger, then taking part in a farmland adventure walk with silly challenges along the way. There is the option to visit in the morning or the afternoon. You are welcome to bring along your own lunch and join other families eating in the great outdoors between 12 and 1pm.

This event is perfect for families with children aged 7-11. Older children will also enjoy the activities, but it is not suitable to bring under 5s for health and safety reasons.

Tom Martin is an innovative famer who balances managing his land with a sensitivity for wildlife, trialling ways to farm more sustainably, and connecting with people about the joys and challenges of food production in the UK. His passion has taken him on the BBC’s Countryfile, and led him to share his life on social media with thousands of followers. He manages his farm with his wife Lisa.

Mobility

This is a working farm and we will be walking field edges which may be muddy and uneven, and climbing over stiles in low light levels. We aim to make our events programme as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy our activities. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

To avoid bites, stings and scratches, long sleeves and long trousers are suggested for all participants. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and sturdy shoes. The event will go ahead even if it rains, so you may require waterproofs. It is unlikely, but if it is especially windy or lightening is forecast, it may not be advisable to run the session. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund your money.
