Guided Farm Walk (rescheduled)
2023-08-05 15:00 - 16:30 | Wood End Farm, Wood End Farm, Water End, Cople, Bedfordshire, MK44 3TZ, United Kingdom
Please note: this event was originally scheduled for 15th July

Charlie and Carolyn Porter will host a guided farm walk at Wood End farm, followed by a BBQ.

The cost will be £10 for adults and £5 for children under 14 The ticket price includes a burger or sausage and a soft drink. There will be no bar, though soft drinks will be available.

This event is on behalf of the Friends of Cople Church

The walk will last about 1.5 hours and will be about 1.5 miles over grass fields and farm tracks. So, attendees should wear suitable walking shoes, and need to be able to complete the walk, which means it may not be suitable for very small children.

As we are hoping to see wildlife, we won’t be able to take dogs, and it will be weather dependent, so may be cancelled at short notice. For this reason, please register your interest with Miles by Saturday 8th July, on milotetley@gmail.com so we can communicate with everyone if cancellation is necessary.

Payment will be taken on the day, and we do have a card machine.
(NB for Wood End Farm, although the postcode is MK44 3TZ, from Northill Road turn into Water End and drive to the very end of the road)
