Open Farm Sunday

As the birthplace of modern agriculture, join us as we participate in this nationwide annual event to highlight the farming industry at Holkham. View the display of large, modern farm machinery with members of the farming team to tell you how they work and show you into the cabs; discover the farming areas of the park with a guided tour in an open trailer; enjoy the sheep-shearing and meet the Suffolk Punch working horse and the cattle and calves, ewes and lambs we have on the estate.

Trailer tours around the park take place at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm & 3pm

Sheep shearing takes place from 12-1pm

Tickets:

Free of charge. Car parking charge of £2.50 per day.

Victorian Farm Day

10am-5pm

Step back in time with us in the Bygones Museum to celebrate Holkham's Victorian "hay-days" of farming. A cast of characters from the past, including the blacksmith and the equine expert, will bring the museum to life and tell you all about farming in days gone by. Meet the cooks and kitchen maids who, along with the bakers, will show you the food and methods popular in Victorian times. Watch out for Holkham's gamekeepers who will be on hand to keep an eye on the poacher!
