Hawarden Estate Farm Shop (PYO)

As well as using locally sourced ingredients to create a range of mouth watering meals and snacks, there is all sorts of activities for families.

Let your children’s imagination roam freely as they conjure up soldiers, pirates, dragons and mountaineering adventurers as they climb the wooden fort designed by local craftsmen. This exciting wooden adventure playground, also consists of rope swing and outdoor ping pong, which makes for excellent entertainment for children of all ages.

Take a stroll through the woodland and embark on a 40 minute nature trail with a questionnaire aimed at the over fives which includes a scavenger hunt and a different option for the children aged six and over. This is a great option to help children learn about the natural world. Trail is not suitable for prams.

Join in a range of work shops including the young bakers and young butchers workshops. Upcoming events can be found on their website or on the bottom of this listing card.

For five months or so during summer and early autumn you can pick your own fruits from the orchards. There are rows of gooseberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants. Later on, you will find English apples, pears and plums, both for eating and cooking, and of course the famous Hawarden Estate Pumpkins.

There is also a cafe on site where all meat, produce and dairy goods are sourced locally in a sustainable way to help support local community businesses. The cafe serves a selection of mouth watering meals for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Kids meals are designed with kids tastes in mind but made much healthier e.g. the chicken goujons are made fresh. Gluten free and vegetarian options are available.
