Open Farm Sunday roadshow – sign up now

Farmers are being urged to attend an Open Farm Sunday roadshow meeting to learn more about hosting an event.


LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) has organised a series of information events around the country, which will bring together new and experienced host farmers to share ideas and top tips on how to host inspiring visits.


The Open Farm Sunday Roadshow starts in Yorkshire on the 4 February and will run for three months, finishing its tour in Powys on 1 May.


Registrations to take part in Open Farm Sunday on 8 June opened two months ago, and are at a record level for this time of year with over 36% of those registered “first time farmers”.


Annabel Shackleton, Open Farm Sunday manager, said the roadshow meetings would help both new and old participants of OFS.


“The Open Farm Sunday Roadshow will be visiting more venues than ever before, with a record 24 free Information Events planned for England, Wales and Scotland,” she said.


“So many fantastic Open Farm Sunday events have taken place over the past eight years and we want to bring experienced and new host farmers together to share best practice as well as offering the latest advice and top tips on how to put on engaging events.”
