Featured Event
As well as being a world-leading science and tech campus, Alderley Park's beautiful 400 acre woodland estate is also home to a working farm which will throw open its gates to the public to host Spring Fest. A chance to celebrate the magic of spring and everything that it means for wildlife, animals and nature, Spring Fest will allow families to immerse themselves in countryside life and new beginnings right at the heart of Alderley Park's scenic estate.
To coincide with Bruntwood SciTech's 10 year anniversary of acquiring the Park this year, the public event, formerly known as "Farm Weekend", will be a refreshed version of the popular event that has been taking place at Alderley Park since 2019. Reflecting on this exciting milestone and to further enhance the event, the 2024 event will include live music from Cheshire-based The Roaming Empire, plus a live DJ to get attendees into the weekend spirit. New activities include a woodland trail treasure hunt aimed at curious little ones and their families, exciting off-road adventures with mini Rovers, alongside educational and interactive farming pop-ups.
The Alderley Park Farm is home to 250 ewes and the flock produces around 400 lambs each year. This year, visitors will be able to admire the flock in the lambing shed, as well as pet other animals from the farm, and take tours of the whole site by tractor.
There will also be falconry displays, donkey rides and spring crafts, whilst independent street food brands and bars will be popping up for a full festival experience.
Taking place from 10am to 4pm, Spring Fest is a not-for-profit community event. Tickets are priced at £8 per person, which includes all activities on site and a 50p donation from each ticket going to charity. Under 3s go free. Tickets are on sale from 9am on Friday 1st March.
