Farm Quest and Seasonal Painting - Rooted Ways Family Fun

Rooted Ways are bringing a family workshop to Pip's Pick Your Own on Saturday 25 July, from 13:30 to 16:00. It's a two-and-a-half-hour session run as part of their Rooted Ways initiative, and it's designed for families to spend an afternoon together out on the farm.

The day starts with a farm quest: children get a map and head off to explore the grounds, following the clues to find their way around. Once that's done, the focus shifts to a seasonal nature art session. The art is made from natural materials and 'waste' produce gathered from the farm—things like berries and other farm finds—so it's more about working with what's on hand than anything you'd buy in a shop. There are also nature-inspired games mixed in, so it's not just sitting and making things for the whole afternoon.

It's an in-person workshop, and the whole thing takes place at Pip's Pick Your Own, which you'll find behind Bens Farm Shop in Plymouth, Devon, PL8 2LT. If you're coming from the city centre, it's a bit of a trip out, but that's half the point of a farm day.

Tickets are £20 for one child, and adults join for free with a child ticket, so it works out as a family outing. There are a couple of discounts if you're bringing more than one: 10% off two child places with the code 10OFF2, and 15% off three child places with 15OFF3. It runs from 13:30 to 16:00 on Saturday 25 July.
