The Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is planning a weekend of extreme fun and adventure for Father’s day over the 17th and 18th June. First up –and a first for the Farm Shop- there will be zorbing for all ages to have a go at. This, for those who haven’t come across it before, is the exhilarating activity of rolling around, trying out forward flips and backward rolls, and crashing into others while safely encased in a giant plastic ball. It’s great fun for both participants and spectators alike!
On Father’s Day itself, Sunday 18th June, the historic Hawarden Old Castle will be open to visitors from 2-5pm, raising money for Clwyd Special Riding School. The castle is a grade I listed medieval castle, with its oldest fortifications dating back to the Iron Age. It is only open to the public on a handful of days every year, so this is a rare opportunity for visitors to take in both some history and some wonderful views of the Estate.
There will be plenty to see and do at the Farm Shop itself over the weekend, with visitors able to make use of the adventure play area, new rope swing and ping pong table and outdoor Smoke Shack and Ice Cream Parlour. Hawarden Estate Farm Shop has also recently launched its very own Market Place on site. Traditional counter stalls are manned by local producers, makers and businesses and it is open from 10am to 4pm every weekend.
Farm Shop Manager Alan Downs says:
“The Market Place is an exciting new venture for the Farm Shop, bringing together a great gang of traders from cake makers to jewellery designers.”
