Day of the Dragon block mentored by Growing Local CIC

A summary

Join us for a magical day at Southside Farm as we celebrate our legendary (and very friendly!) fire-breathing Dragon who watches over the pizza oven! Let your imagination soar with dragon-themed arts and crafts—team up to draw a mighty dragon, then paint your own fiery masterpiece. Create a sparkling dragon’s egg from air-dry clay, decorated with gems, sequins, and your own unique style. We'll head into the garden to harvest fresh ingredients and whip up a tasty lunch of DIY wraps and seasonal farm goodies. For dessert, get creative again and build your own delicious Strawberry Eton Mess cheesecakes. The adventure continues with dragon games galore—play Sleeping Dragon, enjoy fun with the parachute, and set off on an exciting Dragon Hunt around the farm. It’s a magical mix of art, nature, food and fantasy!

About your mentor

Growing Local CIC

GROW, COOK, EAT healthy & local Hereford food

Growing Local is a community interest company that encourages and educates communities to grow, cook and eat local food. In the summer of 2023 Growing Local took over a new 19-acre agricultural site, The Southside Farm, on the southern edge of Hereford to establish a veg box scheme, a children’s educational garden and heritage orchards. We work with schools and communities delivering educational programmes and events in sustainable food growing, nature, crafting, cooking and more.

How to Find Us

If WALKING/CYCLING we are at the end of the Great Western Way foot/cycle path - after the Belmont Wanderer's football fields - look out for our polytunnels! IF DRIVING we will meet you in the Belmont Wanderers football club car park at 9.50am and walk over together. The car park is at the end of Vernon Williams Close in Newton Farm, HR2 7BF.

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
