I will lead you on a culinary journey through Manchester, with up to eight tastings at some of the best food spots across Manchester. These tastings will add up to a big meal (come hungry!). I will reveal some fascinating food and drink stories along the way. From the ice cream families of Little Italy to how our national drink was at the centre of the biggest ever case of industrial espionage! Other things to note If you have any special dietary requirements then please let us know in advance of your tour date.

Welcome to Cronkshaw Fold Farm! *Dates you want not listed?* Message us to arrange. The Price is the same whether you are one person or two. To start with we will make sure you're well equipped for the weather - You'll need to come wearing welly boots, warm layers and waterproofs. Dress appropriately for the weather on the day. We do have spare kit but we don't always have the right size boots/ coats to lend out so you're best bet is to come prepared for wind, hail, sunshine and snow - the English weather is notoriously fickle! Once you're kitted up we will go and let out our free range hens, collect the eggs and weigh them out on the egg grader ready for sale to our local customers. We will then go and feed the Goats (our Goats became unlikely celebrities after spending lockdown on Zoom!) and sheep with the sheepdogs and watch a little bit of sheepdog training/work. On our way round the farm you'll be encouraged to join in with feeding the livestock and doing the morning welfare checks. This is a great activity regardless of age - we can tailor the session to suit the age range of the group so everyone gets a chance to try various age appropriate farm jobs - from grannies to little ones. After the farm jobs are done we will head inside for a breakfast of dippy eggs and soldiers with eggs from the hens you've just met and hot brews.

When you arrive at Greenbank Farm, high on a hill in the Cartmel Valley with the most stunning views, we will introduce you to each of the horses in the paddock outside the farmhouse then show you around the yard enclosed by historical Grade II listed stone barns. We will then take you up to the stables that are restricted and not open to the general public. You will meet our stunning Friesian horses in the stables, ones getting ready for work and in the turnout areas. If possible, you will get to stroke their beautiful silky black noses and and spend time chatting to them. We do have a rogue Shetland pony called JB who won't want to miss out on all the attention! The team member showing you around will tell you a little about each horse and if you're lucky you may get to see one or two being schooled in the outdoor arena. If you are up to it, a wander down the road to one of our fields where we keep most of the horses in a herd will be on the agenda - bring wellies! The Meet the Horses tour is 40-60 minutes Other things to note Meet the Horses tour is suitable for all age groups, young and old. Please wear sturdy footwear for walking around the farm and the tour will go ahead unless the weather is stormy with torrential rain - the horses are happy to meet you no matter the weather!
