Cow Zone
Fancy cuddling a cow and brushing her? You’ve taken a car to a car wash, but have you ever taken a cow to a ‘cow wash’? You could even see our miniature Zebu cows and learn about why cows are important to human civilization. Connect with these gentle beings in a way that will nourish your soul!
Spiritual Zone
Explore your spiritual side by visiting the temple, spending time in the George Harrison Garden and going on a Woodland Walk. Take a tour and learn about the history of the Beatles and the Hare Krishna Movement, watch a drama, or book in a free workshop to learn about eastern wisdom. Meet some of the monks and just find out what we do here!
Game Zone
A perfect place for adults and children to play some great games and win prizes! How about a ‘potato and spoon’ race, and many other fun activities where parents and children can take part together in fun outdoor games at the farm!
Farm Zone
Take an Ox-cart ride up to the organic farm and learn more about sustainable organic farming (and even pick your fresh organic vegetables from the ground and take them home). You can try planting and also learn to harvest. A great opportunity for parents to teach their kids about the importance of the Earth and farms with hands-on experiences!
Food Zone
Treat yourself to a free meal between 12 noon and 4pm, and if you fancy trying out some new vegetarian cuisines from around the world, that will be available too! It’s a fun day out for adults and kids!
