Rhug Estate Opens Its Gates for a Day of Farming, Fun, and Welsh Tradition

A vibrant day of family fun and farming is set to return this summer, with Rhug Estate’s much-loved Open Farm Sunday coming back bigger and better than ever.

Taking place from 10am to 4pm on June 8, the event promises another packed programme of agricultural activities and entertainment.

Located near Corwen in Denbighshire, the 12,500-acre estate is preparing to host hundreds of visitors, offering a chance to explore the land and enjoy farming demonstrations, competitions, children’s games, tractor trailer rides, and educational workshops.

Entry is free, and visitors can browse a wide array of stalls showcasing local independent businesses, along with food and drink from regional producers.

Rhug Estate owner Lord Newborough said: “Our Open Farm Sunday is a beloved tradition, bringing together the local community, visitors from afar, and those interested in Welsh farming and craftsmanship.

“From the moment we open the gates, guests will be greeted with a warm welcome and a host of activities suitable for all ages.

“One of the highlights of the day will be the farm tours, where people can hop aboard a classic tractor trailer and enjoy a guided journey around the Estate’s lush fields, organic farms, and scenic landscape.”

He added: “It’s a fantastic way for families to learn about sustainable farming practices, Welsh agriculture, and the story behind Rhug’s commitment to organic produce.

“Kids and adults alike will love the chance to see the farm in action and get up close to the land that provides the ingredients for our famous products.”

Stalls throughout the event will feature handcrafted goods, Welsh artisan crafts, and homemade delicacies from some of the area’s top producers.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to support them, pick up unique souvenirs, and taste some of the finest Welsh delicacies,” added Lord Newborough.

“We will also have sheepdog demonstrations, sheep shearing, farm machinery, and more.

“It promises to be a memorable day of exploration, learning, and celebrating Welsh heritage – we can’t wait to see you all soon!”

Volunteers from Wales Federation of Young Farmers (Wales YFC) will also be on site to offer support and information.
