One of the best free events we’ve been to in 2016 was in April at Urb Farm in Wolverton. And we couldn’t wait for the details of the next one. It’s called Farm Fest and is on Saturday 25th June 1pm-4pm. Kids can do pond dipping, bug hunting, feed the chickens and go on the bouncy castle. There’s also live music, face painting and craft stalls. If you’re feeling peckish there’s a barbecue and homemade cakes as well as locally produced food to purchase. Urb Farm is home to Growing People – a horticultural social enterprise working with disengaged young people to grow organic, seasonal, fresh fruit, veg, salad and flowers for the local community.
They only have a small car park and on event days it can get very busy so I have been in touch with the organisers for some parking advice for you. They suggest you park on Marron Lane (MK12 5DE) which is off Gloucester Road one of the main roads leading to Wolverton. It runs parallel to Windsor Street which is where the farm is located. The farm is then a short walk down a redway to the farm and will be easily seen. They will put up signs and arrows to point you in the right direction. Details were correct at the time of writing, but for the latest information about this event keep an eye on their facebook page.

I now work four days a week and do this blog late at night once the little boys are sleeping. It's won several awards over the last four years and I continue to run it for free and mostly focus on free, cheap, and good value days out.
