This is Farming

This is Farming, is aimed to demonstrate, entertain and educate people in British Farming. Discovering the challenges, development and progress of farming over the past 100 years.

We will be looking to bring daily farming life to the public through a host of demonstrations and activities for the whole family to be involved in.

You will be able to experience everything from the journey of your food, machinery, horses, wood chopping, and much more.

From livestock and land management to modern technology and sustainable practices, This Is Farming showcases the diversity, resilience and pride of British agriculture. Meet the farmers behind the industry, discover how farming is evolving, and gain a deeper understanding of where our food comes from.

Whether you’re part of the farming community, work within the industry, or simply want to learn more about British farming, this event offers insight, inspiration and a true taste of rural life.
