Easter Family Fun on the Farm!

Farmer Tim

Easter Saturday (April 7th) will go down as our latest exciting event at Hartley Farm. As part of our first ever Easter Family Fun Day celebration, we will be hosting a children’s book launch by celebrity local author Tim Lerwill.

Best known for his ‘Farmer Tim’ stories – aimed at 3 to 8-year-old’s – Tim will be giving readings from his new book ‘Market Day’ in our garden marquee at 11.30am and 3pm. The readings are free to anyone visiting our Family Fun Day and children will be able to get into the spirit of farm adventures as they listen to Tim’s tales in a real farm setting.

We will also be offering tractor and trailer rides around the farm, Easter eggs galore, as well as face painting and other fun activities to keep the family entertained. It’s also easy to access with free parking so makes a great out of town event location for anyone living in Bath, Bradford on Avon or the surrounding countryside

We’re even hoping to complete our new farm trail in time for the Easter Saturday event so that visitors can explore the countryside around the farm and meet some of our pigs, chickens, sheep and cows – all reared outdoors.

We’re really pleased that Tim has chosen to launch his new book here and that we’re able to bring some of his farm tales to life through our setting!

Tim will be signing copies of his books throughout the day and there will be the opportunity to buy copies of all his stories at a special discounted price at Hartley Farm Shop

The farm café will also be open all day for full English breakfast, brunch, lunch, snacks, cream teas, cakey treats including hot cross buns, and the best coffee for miles around!
