Win a family summer pass to Woldie’s Lavender and Nature farm

Woldie’s lavender and nature farm aims to get all the family outside, exploring the beautiful nature of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The farm, at Wintringham, just off the A64 York to Scarborough road, offers interactive gardens with games, quizzes and information in a peaceful, beautiful and accessible setting. 

Attractions include a new and improved foot golf course where you can test your skill against friends and family on the new obstacles, a miniature train for passenger rides, giant willow maze (over a mile long) and den building. There is something for all the family.

All visitors are asked to join in with “Woldie’s Nature Mission”. Each visitor receives a booklet, with the aim to complete the five missions inside whilst collecting stamps to earn a nature hero sticker.

The Big Butterfly Count also runs until August 16, so visitors are encouraged to take part in the count, to help with national butterfly conservation. Last year more than 2,500 butterflies were counted at Woldie’s.

Other family favourites include the climbing wall and fort; new nest swing; sand play and kitchen; timber trail play; bird hide; nature gardens; giant observation beehive; sculpture trail; woodland trails and carp ponds.

And after all that, Woldie’s Teahive Takeaway offers coffees, cold drinks, sandwiches, salads, snacks, cakes and ice creams.

The farm started out growing lavender that is harvested to extract high-quality lavender essential oil to make a unique range of products. Harvesting and distilling takes place in mid to late August.

In addition, over 20 years the small family business has planted thousands of trees, wildflowers, herbs and flowers, creating a nature haven.

Admission for a family of four is £36 and a family of five £45. Dogs are welcome. Find out more about Woldie’s Lavender and Nature farm.

We have teamed up with Woldie’s to offer a summer pass to enable a family of up to two adults and three children to visit the attraction as many times as they like over the summer.
