Big Butterfly Saturday (AM)

Every year, the Butterfly Conservation invites people like you (our citizen scientists!) to take part in a nationwide survey of butterflies and day-flying moths across the UK. To coincide with this year's event, we’re inviting you to Kindling Farm to see how many you can spot here!

Our Pollinator Walk is back by popular demand! Suitable for all the family, this guided walk invites you to explore our fields and discover the amazing wildlife living amongst us! Local experts will be setting up stalls to teach us about the different species of butterfly that we have here in the UK and why they’re SO IMPORTANT for our environment. Head to the courtyard for crafts and family-friendly activities. And of course, there's the main event: the Big Butterfly Count! Pick a spot at the farm, count as many butterflies as you can then log them with Kindling Farm staff so your recordings become a part of the nationwide survey. 

N.B. Butterflies don’t like the rain or the wind and who can blame them! In the event that the weather takes a turn for the worse, our butterfly count at the farm will not go ahead but don’t worry because we will be running butterfly themed activities suitable for all ages, all afternoon!

You must register to come to this event as facilities and parking are limited. Please make sure that you register everyone who will be coming along on the day - thank you!

There are two chances to attend Big Butterfly Saturday. By registering for this event you are booking for the morning slot. If you would like to attend the morning slot instead, please click here.

The farm is about to undergo refurbishment so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible at the moment. We have limited facilities with one indoor toilet which is up a set of stairs. 

We don’t have a cafe onsite but refreshments will be available. 

As a working farm, the ground can be uneven in places making it difficult for those with limited mobility. Activities in the fields are not suitable for prams or pushchairs. If you have any questions about access, please contact: hayley@kindling.org.uk
