activities and workshops at dove farm

Dove farm is a unique and versatile venue for meetings in Staffordshire, small corporate and teambuilding events in Derbyshire. Exclusive use and freedom to plan your day the way you want it, makes hiring dove studio, a pleasure. Overnight accommodation can be booked in our three holiday cottages, which allows you to maximise time at the farm. Here are a few ideas for activities and workshops that will interest business groups and weekend guests alike.

If you prefer to be out and about, we have put together ideas for group activities , walks and cycle trails in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and the Peak District within easy and reasonable travel of dove farm .

Sometimes of course, our guests like to relax and do absolutely nothing at all. That’s why we say that a few days, or even a few hours spent at the farm, offer people a breathing space in their busy lives.
