Airfield Estates annual pass is perfect for families seeking community experiences

Anyone who has experienced Airfield Estate knows that the renowned location simply cannot be visited only once.

Between the beautiful walking trails, vintage car garage and Overend family home to the hens, pigs, goats and donkeys beloved by any visitor; It's a joyful place like no other.

The internationally-acclaimed Estate is known for it's remarkable history and social hub, but what's truly special about Airfield is their community investment and sustainability.

Charitable connections are one of the key facets of Airfield, with meaningful social impact programmes linked to St. Michael’s House, Camphill, HSE Mental Health Services, Simon Community and WALK Real Ability as a result of visitor contributions.

Community is at the core of this establishment, which is precisely why the annual pass holders are held in such high esteem.

While Airfield's cherished visitors are having unforgettable experiences of their own with their families, they are simultaneously on a much bigger journey.

Your contribution will also aid in the special care of the Estate's farm animals, while adding valuable bricks to the building block of social impact work carried out.
