CAFT - The Childrens Adventure Farm Trust

---

 Caft's story started back in 1985, when CAFT founder Tim Grundy was inspired to create a special place where terminally ill, disabled and socially disadvantaged children could have a break away from their circumstances. Tim was inspired whilst donating toys to a local centre supporting young children, he asked “Is there anything else these children need?” The response: “What these children need is a holiday, but they’ll never get the opportunity.”

In 1989 after four years of fundraising, Booth Bank Farm, a 17th century farmhouse set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside was purchased at auction. in 1992, after a further three years of hard work renovating, The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust was ready to receive the first children for a holiday at the Farm. Here is what we have been up to since…

Groups or individual families can enjoy an action packed day visit to the Farm. For 2 fun filled hours the children will be able to enjoy our outdoor spaces including our friendly farm animals, our exciting play park and our woodland full of adventure. 

Residential stays for groups or individual families onsite at the Farm. With 10 acres of land and plenty of fun facilities and engaging activities such as arts and crafts, games in the sports hall with the inflatable slide, plus playtime in the games room, music room and sensory room! 

Each year we run 4 themed activity programmes including Easter, CAFTFest (our accessible summer festival), Halloween and finishing the year with magical Christmas visits to our Winter Woodland. Every child gets to meet Santa Claus and take home a gift, as well as special memories.
