The Main Event

Looking for a gift that’s warm, whimsical and wonderfully different? The Elevenses Experience at a family working farm is a charming countryside escape packed with character, perfect for animal lovers, foodies and anyone craving a little peace, fresh air, and wholesome fun. Set on the edge of the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, this experience offers a delightful mid-morning treat that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.

The adventure begins with an introduction to the farm’s treasured Highland cows, Angus, Red and Bruno. These magnificent animals are known for their shaggy coats, gentle natures and irresistibly expressive faces, and each has a personality entirely his own. Guests quickly discover Bruno’s cheeky curiosity, Red’s soft, calming presence and Angus’s playful charm. This is an opportunity to get properly hands on, with time to feed, groom and bond with the herd under the guidance of friendly farm staff. Whether capturing photos, learning more about the breed or simply enjoying the slow pace of farm life, it’s an encounter that feels both heart-warming and unforgettable.

Once the cows have been sufficiently pampered, the experience continues inside a cosy dining geodome nestled beside the fields. Surrounded by the peaceful grazing herd, guests take a seat and unwind as the table is set for a delicious Elevenses spread. This relaxed mid-morning treat is all about indulgence, comfort and countryside flavours, offering an irresistible mix of freshly brewed teas, aromatic coffees and a tempting array of locally sourced sweet goodies.

Unlike a traditional afternoon tea, Elevenses focuses on treats rather than sandwiches, meaning a bigger and better selection of sweet bites to enjoy at your own pace. Expect beautifully baked scones served with jam and clotted cream, alongside an ever-changing assortment of homemade cakes, pastries and little delights from local producers. It’s the perfect balance of simple pleasures and special touches, enjoyed in the company of gentle Highland cows just beyond the dome’s clear walls.

Ideal for couples, families, thoughtful gift-givers or anyone who appreciates life’s slower moments, the Elevenses Experience feels like a breath of fresh air from start to finish.
