As Sir David said “one of the simplest things you should do is just actually to just stop”. We always encourage our guests switch off whilst they’re here on the farm. And to immerse themselves in nature and take in their surroundings. We don’t allow cars on the pitches so you can listen to the birdsong and see an interrupted view. We don’t allow dogs to join the nature friendly camping so that the ground nesting birds feel safe to lay their eggs. And we want the children to feel free to roam, and the parents to know that they are safe to do so. #coppethill #naturefriendlycamping #campinguk #dorsetfarm @visitdorsetofficial

🦋 This is what summer looks like at Coppet Hill… Butterflies drifting across wildflower meadows, birdsong in the background, and space for children to explore freely 🌿 This is exactly what our Nature Weekend is all about—simple, real experiences in nature. 📅 3–5 July 🎟 Tickets via the link in our bio or at Tag someone you’d bring with you 👇 #NatureWeekend #DorsetLife #FamilyDaysOut #VisitDorset #coppethill @visitdorsetofficial

🌅 Dawn Chorus Walk at Coppet Hill 🐦 This morning, a group of us gathered bright and early at the Purcombe Barn at 5am to meet our local bird expert, Luke Phillips. We walked to the rookery and listened to the incredible cacophony of birdsong as the sun rose over the Marshwood Vale — a truly magical start to the day. From there, we climbed Denhay Hill and looped back towards Purcombe Barn, spotting roe deer and hares moving across the fields along the way. After the walk, we warmed up with local @clipperteas , @gooseandbadgercoffee , and a delicious @denhaybacon bacon roll. ☕🥓 A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a wonderful event! #DawnChorus #CoppetHill #NatureWalk #Birdsong #MarshwoodVale @visitdorsetofficial

One of the best signs of good weather, grass cutting 😊 First cut of the season #CoppetHill #DorsetFarm #FarmLife #Spring #cutgrass

Melplash Agricultural Society and their education group, @discoverfarming will again partner with the @marshwoodvalefarmers for Open Farm Sunday on Sunday 7 June 2026. This FREE event gives the public the opportunity to learn about the essential roles farmers play in producing our food, caring for nature, and safeguarding the environment for generations to come. This year, Open Farm Sunday will be hosted by @coppethill in Broadoak, near Bridport. Visitors can enjoy tractor-trailer rides around the farm, stopping at a range of informative points along the way. A selection of farm machinery will be on display, alongside demonstrations of different cultivation systems and the journey of wheat from field to bread. There will also be a special focus on the wool story, including sheep shearing and demonstrations showing how fleece is transformed into insulation, rugs, and spun or woven into wool products. A variety of farm animals will be on show, including sheep (with Dorset breeds such as Portland and Dorset Horn), Shetland cattle, Saddleback pigs, calves and chickens. The Discover Farming team will be running a range of hands-on farm-to-food activities—perfect for curious young minds! In addition, representatives from related industries, including Wessex Water, Brit Valley Landscape, and Dorset Wildlife Trust, will be on hand to share their expertise. Local food and drink will be available, including pulled beef baps and locally made dishes from Yum Luscious, coffee, Clipper tea and Baboo Gelato ice cream and sorbets. There will also be a large picnic area for families to enjoy for those who wish to bring their own food.
