Farm Shop & Tea Trailer

Grimsthorpe Castle Welcomes New Farm Shop in October 2024

As Grimsthorpe Castle, Park & Gardens’ summer season comes to a close, we are thrilled to announce the opening of the Grimsthorpe Farm Shop on Friday 18th October 2024.

Located in the courtyard before the park entrance, sharing its access with the current gift shop and offering free parking. No park tickets are required to visit, making it accessible for locals and visitors alike.

This long-awaited addition to the estate will be run by the incredibly experienced husband-and-wife-team John and Lesley Berry who retired from the Cholmeley Arms and Berry’s Farm Shop in July 2023.

John and Lesley are committed to supporting local farms and stocking the finest locally sourced produce. Their goal is to make fresh, local ingredients, including venison and game from the Grimsthorpe Estate, more accessible to visitors.

The March Hare Tea Trailer set to Open Over Winter!

In addition to the farm shop news, we are excited to welcome Amy and her team at The March Hare Tea Trailer to continue to serve delicious refreshments throughout the winter months, offering breakfasts, lunches and tasty treats to visitors of the estate and new farm shop.

The tea trailer will be open October- April every Friday and Saturday 10am-2pm.

Amy, who has built The March Hare catering up over the past 6 years, and launched her Christmas Fayre last year, is also rolling out a brand new menu using local produce from the new farm shop and local business, Stamford Coffee.

Both indoor (heated) and outdoor seating are available, and dogs are always welcome.
