CRT Village Show

Explore the CRT Village Showground!

#CRTVillageShow

We had to cancel all CRT farm open days due to lockdown, but we still wanted to find a different way to bring new and existing CRT Friends together and raise money for the charity!

Support us by donating what you'd normally pay at a CRT Village Show:

At this time of year, our staff, farmers and volunteers would be on the road to see you in person at Farm Open Days and shows across the country. But lockdown has changed that this year.

How much money the CRT Village Show has raised so far?

Growing money - fundraising

We still need to raise awareness and raise funds to continue our vital work, but we also want to continue to bring people together and provide sparks of joy and happiness through the CRT Village Show.

Support Rural Business

 

CRT supports rural communities and businesses by restoring old and disused farming properties into centres of sustainable business. 

These artisan businesses would normally be selling their beautiful items at shows across the country. This year, we are supporting these businesses by promoting them online at our CRT Village Show

Tim's taking the back seat and giving you a tour around his farm - and of course Ivy the dog had to come along too!

On this tour, you'll visit the hedges that were laid in the National Hedgelaying Championship in 2018 and find out some facts about the different styles of hedge. You'll also explore the mosaic of crops and habitats across the farms and finally Tim shows you the wonderful water meadows that we have restored. 

Become a Friend!

Together we can restore a living, working countryside like we have at Lark Rise Farm.

Last year we charged £1 for a tractor ride to explore the farm - could you donate just £1 today?
