Frequently Asked Questions
The run is a 5K circular route through the farm fields, on public footpaths. The terrain is a mix of gravel and grass paths, we suggest wearing trail shoes if you have them as it can get muddy and hilly in parts.
We welcome all abilities, runners, joggers and walkers! We encourage running at a social pace and organise pacers that run a 5K between 25 – 35 mins with a tail walker at the end so no one feels left behind.
Please arrive at the farm at 8.45am for a 9am prompt start. We start with a warm up together and finish with coffee and cake.
Of course! Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Absolutely! We’re serving up coffee, hot chocs, teas and cinnamon buns for you to refuel after your run. We open at 9am on Sundays.
We have plenty of car parking on site but do advise car sharing where possible. Please arrive at 8.45am to give you enough time to park up.
The run is suitable for all abilities. However, unfortunately due to the nature of the off-road route there is no access for prams and wheelchairs. Children under 14 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or designated adult at all times during the run.
EXCELLENT Based on 165 reviews Posted on ElisaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been to Bate’s farm twice in the past year and both experiences have been excellent. Once for the pumpkin picking which had an excellent variety of pumpkins and a big field to pick from. The second time was for their meet the lambs experience which was fabulous! We were lucky enough to see a live birthing, learned lots about lambing and sheep and even got to hold some baby lambs. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. There’s also a truck where you can grab hot drinks and cakes and on site toilet facilities. Cannot recommend bates farm enough.Posted on LucyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited Bates Farm for the first time, for their Deck the Barn event in December. We are so glad we did! It was absolutely everything you need to start feeling so so festive. Everything was so well thought out, it wasn’t too busy that it felt over crowded, which feels rare at this time of the year. We loved the choices of food and drink stalls, being able to meet some of the animals and the gospel choir concert got us up and dancing. We did all of this with our 1yo little boy and he loved every second. We can’t wait to make this a tradition and we had the best time making such gorgeous memories with our little family. Keep up your hard work girls, the local community massively appreciate it. ❤️Posted on HollieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended one of their 5km runs as well as their Christmas special, Deck the Barn, and both events were unforgettable in their own way. The attention to detail at Deck the Barn was truly outstanding—they thought of everything, from the delicious food and drinks to the entertainment, photo opportunities, and even getting up close with the farm animals. The Gospel band was absolutely incredible and brought such an amazing atmosphere. I’m already counting down the days until next year! And a special shoutout to their cinnamon buns—hands down the best I’ve ever had!Posted on EllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Please make this a family tradition for us every year. The concert by Gospel Touch was just so wholesome and festive, it felt like a film. What an amazing concept and it was really like nothing we’d ever done at Christmas before. Perfect for all the family no matter the age.
