What better way to celebrate a new school year than with a Back to School Disco on Saturday 2nd September from 5pm-9pm. No school uniforms required!
We’ll entertain the kids with games and crafts, so parents can recover from being run off their feet all summer with a well-deserved drink at the bar. There will be cheesy hits for all ages, so get practising your best Dad dancing! If you’re peckish, Love’s Farm’s own Little Dutch Bites will be selling their poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes) in the garden, and we’ll have extra treats and snacks on sale too.
Tickets cost £3 per person (babies under 1 are free). All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer, who must have their own ticket.
It’s finally summer and school’s out for six whole weeks! We’ll be kicking off the summer holidays in true Love’s Farm House style with a family disco on Saturday 22nd July from 5pm-9pm.
We’ll be dusting off the summer playlist, switching on the disco lights and providing lots of holiday fun for everyone, so bring the whole family. There will be games for the children and Silver Rock Designs will be providing craft activities to keep them occupied. We’ll be selling ice lollies and other snacks to keep you cool, and of course the bar will be open so parents can relax with a drink while the kids have fun.
Tickets cost £3 per person (babies under 1 are free). All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer, who must have their own ticket. Get your tickets here!
We knew she was amazing, and now the whole of Huntingdonshire does too! Huge congratulations to Maria Russo, Vice-Chair of the Trustees of Love’s Farm House, who won Trustee of the Year at Hunts Forum’s Volunteer Awards 2023!
Maria is involved in almost every area of Love’s Farm House. She leads the Events Team, organising all the discos, shows and other events our community loves so much. She runs the Lazy Breakfast Cafe and can usually be found here on a Saturday morning serving up pastries and sausage rolls. Maria also leads the Garden Team, keeping our lovely outside space looking great, and she gets involved in all sorts of other issues from recruiting volunteers, to supporting staff, to trying to work out how to minimise our utility bills!
Love’s Farm House quite literally could not function without Maria, and as a Trustee she does all of this work on a completely voluntary basis. We are so pleased that her contribution has been recognised with this very well-deserved award! Congratulations Maria!

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.

We need YOU to help Inspector Darcy Meltoya to investigate the clues, interrogate the suspects and solve the murder!
