Learn all about birds’ nests and eggs at the scheduled drop-in activity station including nest and bird egg ID and guided woodland bird habitat walks on selected dates (April 13th, 14th, 20th & 21st).
Grab a mouth-watering bite in the family friendly Overends Kitchen with their new family roast and child friendly menus or sip on Jersey milky lattes and tuck into baked delights hot off the racks at Airfield’s new Farm Shop and Café serving breakfast and lunch with a new retail area and an intimate Farmers Market all under one roof.
Throughout the Easter break children can pick up a free collectable activity trail sheet created to introduce junior visitors to aspects of birdlife at Airfield.
You will be able to hop on down to the farmyard on Easter Sunday and collect a sweet treat from the Easter bunny.
