Bullsbrook Farm - Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend

Friday:Open for School Visits Only
Saturday 10.00am – 5.00pm
Sunday: Not Open

Bullsbrook Farm which dates to the mid-17th Century is run by Roy McMurray who inherited the farm from his parents.

Roy is passionate about preserving the unique history and has restored the period house which dates to 1700, offering visitors a glimpse into how rural dwellers used to live.

In one of the restored buildings, there is an open fire with the original crook and bellows and a place to bake bread on the griddle, just like the way they used to make it! Within another, Roy has thoughtfully created a beautiful little church, full of character and quiet charm.

Roy has also created a remarkable farm museum packed with artefacts that tell the story of traditional rural life and farming over the years. This is filled with amazing collections of farmyard implements and equipment – everything from old butter churns to hand operated tools, vintage tractors and machinery, ploughs and planters. Roy regularly hosts events linked to the renowned Harry Ferguson, one of the world’s greatest innovators & father of the modern tractor, who’s birthplace and memorial garden is just a few miles away.

The farm has been part of the Countryside Management Scheme since 2001 and is home to a beef cattle herd and a small agricultural museum.

The River Lagan runs through the farmland and provides a peaceful area to explore wild birds such as Goldcrests, Jackdaw, Tree Creepers, and Greenfinch to name but a few!

Roy enjoys sharing his knowledge and the history of the farm at Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend. A visit here offers a chance to step back in time and learn about traditional farming practices from days gone by.
