Open Farm Sunday 2025 with Solley’s

On Sunday 8th June 2025, Solley’s took part in Open Farm Sunday.

Open Farm Sun­day, man­aged by LEAF (Link­ing Envi­ron­ment And Farm­ing), is one of the farm­ing industry’s biggest suc­cess sto­ries. Since the first Open Farm Sun­day in 2006, over 2000 farm­ers across Britain have opened their gates and wel­comed over 3.25 mil­lion peo­ple onto farms for farm­ing’s annu­al open day.

It is a fan­tas­tic oppor­tu­ni­ty for every­one, young and old, to dis­cov­er at first hand what it means to be a farmer and the fab­u­lous work they do pro­duc­ing our food, nur­tur­ing and all the goods and ser­vices farm­ers provide.

Here at Solley’s, we put on factory tours (we had planned for 3 but ran 6 due to very popular demand!), ran two sets of tractor & trailer rides, had static machinery displays, pop up food from Soul Chef Kitchen and Smash & Grab as well as being open at both Solley’s Ice Cream Parlour and The Pub at Solley’s.  To round off the day, Deep River Blue provided live music too.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to visit and supported us – it was wonderful to see the farm so lively and is always a pleasure to share a bit more of the story of our farm and ice cream with you all.

We plan to take part in next year’s event – the date for which is 7th June 2026 – and in the meantime we continue to be open to visitors 7 days a week with FREE admission and events running throughout the year.
