The Village Church Farm is run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers who gladly give up their time and skills for free. We do not receive any money from central government or local councils. The only way we can keep Lincolnshire’s only open air farming museum open is by generating money at our special events and the generosity of people such as yourself.
Please consider supporting the work of the volunteers by making a donation to The Village Church Farm.
You can do this in person at The Village or online using the link below.
All donations, however small, are greatly appreciated and we guarantee that every single penny received is spent on enhancing this award winning museum for the benefit of the whole community for years to come.
