School’s almost out for Easter and we’re EGGstra excited for spring shenanigans at Love’s Farm House!

There will be Easter fun for all the family at our Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday 8th April from 10am-1pm. The Farm House Cafe will be serving Easter cakes and cupcakes as well as our usual hot drinks and signature sausage rolls, and (with thanks to Limelight Entertainment) the Easter Bunny will be hopping in to see us!

There will be an Easter Egg Hunt around the building to entertain the kids while parents relax with a cuppa. Entry to the cafe is free, the Easter Egg Hunt costs £2 per child and includes a boxed chocolate egg. To guarantee your child’s Egg Hunt space, get your tickets in advance from our ticket page. There may be a small number of tickets to buy on the day, depending on Easter Egg availability!

If you didn’t get enough chocolate for Easter, Chocolate Bingo will be returning on Thursday 13th April. It’s bingo Love’s Farm style, playing for chocolate instead of cash, and with Love’s Farm’s signature bingo calls. Doors open at 6pm, eyes down at 6.30. £1 per person for a book of 10 games, bring your own snacks / drinks and don’t forget your pens and change! More info here.

And if you’re looking for something to entertain the kids over the holidays, we have not one, not two, but THREE children’s craft clubs open for booking.

Silver Rock Designs will be returning with their regular school holiday craft clubs on Tuesdays 4th (1.15-2.45pm) and 11th (10.15-11.45pm) April. Children will get stuck into a range of themed crafts, so make sure they dress for mess! On the 4th, the crafts will be Easter themed; on the 11th, it will be all about spring. The workshops are aimed at ages 5+ and cost £8 per child. Spaces must be booked in advance by messaging their Facebook Page or emailing silver-rock@hotmail.co.uk.

On Thursday 6th April from 12.15-1.45pm we have a BRAND NEW children’s creative workshop from Arty Kids. At the Little Grand Master Finger Painting Workshop, children will be learning about colours by blending and mixing using their fingers. They will also learn about perspective and mood using classic masterpieces as a template. At the end of the session, children will come home with their completed work and a certificate. The workshop is for ages 5-10 and costs £12 per child, including all materials and use of an apron. Book your child’s space here.

The Farm House Bar will be continuing the Easter celebrations with themed cocktails at Cocktails and Karaoke on 7th April. On 14th April, come along to Jam Night for an evening of music making and fun. It couldn’t be any more informal, just bring or pick up an instrument, and we always need singers to help us remember where we’ve got to in the song! The Farm House Bar is open from 7.30pm every Friday, visit our Facebook page for more details of bar events.

And finally, there’s a handful of tickets left for Murder at the Theatre – A Murder Mystery Evening on Saturday 15th April from 7.45pm. Come along for an evening of entertainment and intrigue, and help Inspector Darcy Meltoya investigate the clues, interrogate the suspects and solve the murder. Tickets cost £25 per person (including a glass of prosecco or soft drink on arrival) and teams can be up to 8 people. Get your tickets here.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Tesco and GENCO Construction Services for repainting the Love’s Farm House hall!

When Tesco planned their refurbishment of the Tesco Express store on Love’s Farm, they reached out to us to find out whether Love’s Farm House could benefit from any redecorating at the same time. We were more than happy to say yes!

The paint in the hall was looking very scuffed and faded. Most of the hall hadn’t been repainted since the building opened in 2015 because the walls were too high to access, even with a ladder.

Tesco and GENCO Construction kindly provided a team of workers, as well as a scissor lift, to repaint the hall from top to bottom. They went above and beyond the call of duty by fitting the work into the gaps in our schedule so that none of our activities were disrupted.

The work was finished just in time for everyone to enjoy at the Valentine’s Disco!

Jenny Bishop, General Manager of Love’s Farm House, said “we are incredibly grateful to Tesco and GENCO for supporting us with this project and helping to maintain this great space for everyone in our community to use.”

Have a look at our What’s On Guide or Events page to find out when you can come along and make the most of our refreshed hall.

Saturday 15th April 7.45pm-11.30pm

Love’s Farm House has teamed up with other venues across St Neots to display over 100 handmade fabric panels from the Loving Earth Project.

Originating in Glasgow for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), the exhibition is now travelling around the country, celebrating some of the wonderful things on our planet which are being threatened by growing environmental breakdown: the people, places, creatures and other things we love.

The project aims to help people engage creatively with the issues, without being overwhelmed. Whatever our starting point, our actions affect the wider environment. The Loving Earth exhibition encourages us to think about how we each might help to reduce the threats to the world we love.

Everyone can join in, using the exhibition as a catalyst to think about how we can make changes in our everyday habits and help to preserve the wonderful natural world we live in. You can make your own textile panel, use the online resources to explore the issues further, or draw / write your response to the central questions, either on paper or on the green heart postcards in the Foyer. You can upload your responses to social media via Loving Earth’s Facebook, Instagram or Twitter pages.

Once you’ve been inspired by the panels at Love’s Farm House, why not visit the exhibitions across St Neots? You can find more panels at St Neots Museum, Art & Soul Cafe, the Refill Shop, St Neots Library, Berkeley Street Methodist Church and our neighbours, Round House and Wintringham Primary Academies, from 20th October to 20th November 2022.

We know you missed it during the pandemic, so start digging out those costumes because it’s BACK! Tickets for the Love’s Farm House Halloween Disco 2022 are now on sale!

The Halloween Disco is Love’s Farm’s biggest night out of the year, when we put on crazy costumes and dance like maniacs whilst partaking of creepy cocktails, mysterious mocktails and spooky snacks from the bar.

As usual we’ll be easing into the evening with games for younger children from 6pm, before showing off our freakiest moves on the dance floor from 7pm. There will be lots of prizes on offer, so get perfecting that costume and practicing those dance moves.
