Open Farm Sunday 2026

Step into Dorset’s working countryside for a day where farming, food and landscape come together.

Open Farm Sunday offers the opportunity to visit local farms across the Dorset National Landscape, take part in hands on activities, enjoy guided tours and experience how food is produced by the people who care for these distinctive places.

Taking place on Sunday 7 June, it’s a relaxed and family friendly way to explore the countryside and gain a deeper understanding of the vital connection between farming and the Dorset landscape you see today.
