About
The Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend is a family friendly showcase and celebration of farming and the food industry across Northern Ireland.
As part of the Open Farm Weekend, Brook Hall Estate & Gardens will be opening for this free to enter event on Saturday 15th – Sunday 16th June 2024. Explore the working farm, meet the farmers, and enjoy a range of activities for all ages.
Brook Hall Estate & Gardens has been farmed by the Gilliland family for six generations since 1858. Brook Hall was the first farm in the UK & Ireland to commercially farm willow for biomass for renewable heat, and in now one of the leading research farms for sustainable agriculture in Europe.
