Croots Farm Shop Vintage and Classic Car Day

Croots Farm Shop in Derbyshire will be staging another of its popular vintage and classic car days later this month.

Running from 11am to 4pm on 29^th August 2015, the event will also include a teddy bears picnic, as well as a BBQ featuring Croots Farm Shop’s award-winning sausages and burgers.  

The teddy bears picnic gives youngsters the chance to try their hand at circus skills and balloon modelling.

“The vintage and classic car day at Croots has proved popular in the past and when we were asked to host it again we thought it would be an ideal event to stage on the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend,” said Steve Croot, who runs the award-winning farm shop and Shires Eatery.

Entry to the vintage and classic car day is free. The cost of the teddy bears picnic is £5 per child and will include a lunchbox, balloon modelling, bouncy castle and circus workshop which will run from 12.30pm to 2.30pm.

The farm shop, which opened in 2008, sells a range of food and drink produced locally, regionally and from further afield. It stocks products from more than 40 producers from within a 50-mile radius of the shop. It also produces its own range of award-winning items including sausages, pies and ready meals. In June Croots Farm Shop won the Best Sweet Bake award in The Great British Food Farm Produce Awards 2015 for its homemade Bakewell tart.   

Tickets for the teddy bears picnic are available in the shop.    

Croots Farm Shop is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm (Shires Eatery until 4.30pm) and from 10am to 4pm on Sundays. Croots runs Fresh Fish Thursdays between 9am and 1pm on Thursdays.
