Making memories
Having adventures and making memories is what a trip to Magdalen is all about!
Growing Cantaloupe melons
New for 2026! This year we are trialling growing cantaloupe melons in our polytunnels, and so far they are proving successful! We look forward to tasting them over the summer once they have ripened
Our Summer pollinators
Having an array of flowers in and around our vegetable garden is so important to attract the pollinators to our plants. Check out the beautiful colours on display this summer
Our Farmhouse Artwork
This beautiful drawing and frame was created by a visitor on a school trip 2-night residential stay in the Farmhouse. He loved it so much he wanted to remember it, therefore taking almost half an hour to capture the details. A fantastic piece of artwork!
Wildlife spotting
Taking the time to look into the meadow can reveal many exciting things. By taking some sweep nets into Maypole, our visiting group were able to find lots of butterflies, moths, grasshoppers and crickets!
Our wildflowers
We are so lucky to have such a variety of wildflowers here at the farm. A highlight during the summer are the species of Marsh Orchid that appear in our meadows. A beautiful flash of purple against the green grass and blue skies!
Making mementos
Creating unique mementos from a trip at Magdalen. The creativity of our visitors continues to surprise us during our arts and crafts sessions.
Produce from our gardens
Harvesting produce from our gardens is one of the highlights for many groups who visit us. Getting hands on with freshly grown vegetables has encouraged many visitors to try new foods whilst here with us!
Mint moth
Small but perfectly formed, the mint moth is a regular visitor to our polytunnels. The larvae feed on a variety of mint plants, which we have plenty of at the farm.
River fun in the sun
The May Half Term heatwave provided us with lots of opportunities to visit the river, both to explore the wildlife and cool off!
