An important element of Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend is our schools programme.
We invite schools to help their pupils learn about the ‘Farm to Fork’ message through an interactive on-farm experience. Teachers have found these visits a useful tool in delivering Foundation, Key Stage 1 and 2 curriculum and to explain our food journey.
Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend is taking place on Friday 14 June (schools day), Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June 2024. Participating farms will be released soon! For more information, email Lynsay Hawkes (lhawkes@ufuhq.com).
As well as inviting schools to our participating farms, we also run an annual schools competition offering some amazing prizes – see our competition page for more information.
