Fun for the Whole Family at Airfield Estate this Summer

The summer holidays are a great time to immerse your family in nature. Airfield Estate in Dundrum is a working urban farm with a gardens, a restaurant, children’s play areas and woodlands that is ideal for a family day out.

Your family can get involved in all the aspects of the farm from egg collection to milking the cows and feeding the animals including Jersey cows, sheep, pigs, goats and donkeys. Learn all about the environment in Naturescape, an interactive play area in the woods.

Meet with the gardeners and take a tour of the Ornamental Gardens, the Bee Garden and the food gardens that supply the Overends restaurant with fresh seasonal produce. The restaurant is open for breakfast, brunch and lunch so you can relax after your day’s activities with a meal created from the produce on the estate.
