Beatties Glenpark Farm - Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend

Sunday: 11.00am – 5.00pm

Beatties Glenpark Farm, Omagh

Richard Beattie has lived on the Glenpark Road his whole life, moving from his childhood home to live in his own family home just down the road from the Glenpark Estate.

Now Richard and his wife Selina are undertaking the most amazing adventure to develop the site of the old Ulster History Park into something really special. Richard and Selina are well known in the farming community running a number of livestock auctions with a special interest in pedigree stock and rare breeds (more about that later!). They are also familiar faces from UTV’s popular Rare Breed – A Farming Year programme.

Their vision for Glenpark Estate is inspiring and their enthusiasm for the project completely infectious! 15 years after the gates closed, the Ulster History Park is getting a new lease of life. The project is already taking shape with 24 caravan/motorhome and 8 camping pitches open. Next on the revamp are 7 exclusive hotel rooms, Woodland Lodge, Shepherds Hut, 4 Static accommodation, a Restaurant & Bar area, facilities for weddings, conferences & events and a soft play area for children’s parties. Of course the famous rare breeds will be making an appearance too, grazing in paddocks in the grounds of the estate for everyone to enjoy!
