Easter treat at a city farm

Drag them away from the Xbox and into the outdoors this Easter with a week-long camp at Airfield farm in Dundrum, Dublin. The hands-on camps, from 9.30am to 2.30pm daily, will give kids a chance to grow, cook and eat food from Airfield’s fields and gardens, plus they’ll learn about all the changes spring brings, meet baby animals and learn about the trees, flowers and plants growing on the 38-acre working farm. There is lots to explore with the estate’s farmers, guides and gardeners, and plenty of opportunities to get good and muddy.

Camps are for kids aged five to eight and run on the weeks from March 30th (five days, €130 a child) and April 7th (four days, €105 a child). Special rates for subsequent children and members. See airfield.ie
