Interested in the countryside and would like some practical experience on a working farm? Deepdale Conservation Weekend offers you the chance to stay on the farm, bed and breakfast provided, in exchange for two days work (10am to 3.30pm).

A Saturday night BBQ will also be provided to fuel you for Sunday!

If you enjoy the great outdoors and like the thought of working as part of a conservation team for a couple of days, please read on.

If you have been with us for both days and would like to stay Sunday night as well, then you'd be more than welcome.
