A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend on Saturday 🌿

We welcomed over 820 visitors through our gates, and the farm came to life with families exploring, laughing, and enjoying every corner of the day. Seeing so many smiling faces, children discovering the cottages, and everyone taking part in the activities made it truly special. We hope you left with wonderful memories and a little bit of that magical farm feeling💚

We also want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the businesses, organisations, staff, and volunteers who made the day possible. Your support, generosity, and hard work created an experience that so many people enjoyed.

Today at Lislagan Farm, we welcomed pupils from Sandelford School, Coleraine, and St Brigid’s Primary School, Ballymoney as part of the Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend 🌿🐄

The children took part in crafts, active games, and spent time with the animals. They showed great energy and enthusiasm throughout the day and had a very enjoyable visit.

Tomorrow, Lislagan Farm opens to the public. Everyone is welcome to come along, meet the animals, enjoy great activities, and experience farm life up close.

Join us and be part of a great (and hopefully dry!) day out 🌞
