EVENTS

We have a great events programme at Cream o’ Galloway offering something extra, every day we're open.

In 2012 we're open from 11th to 19th February, then every day from 17th March to 4th November.

Every day we offer the Farm Tour at 2.45pm and the Ice Cream Experience at 1.30pm and as the seasons change, you can join events such as Meet the Lambs or Pond Dipping, Bat Night and Hedgerow Safaris.

Many of our events are often fully booked well in advance, particularly during school holidays, so if you would like to take part in an event we recommend pre-booking. Send us an email to check availability.
