A family-run farm park on the outskirts of Derby has announced plans to double its yearly visitor figures by 2028. Bluebell Dairy, in Spondon, has been providing an educational adventure for families since 2008.
It sits in 320 acres of farmland, and pulls in visitors from across the region and beyond including parents of young children. In the last 12 months, the Brown family, which owns the site, has invested hundreds of thousands of pounds diversifying the farm and enhancing the visitor experience, and now want to make it the premier farm park attraction in the East Midlands.
The investment includes a robotic milker for the micro-dairy and the launch of new family events, and the family is currently in the process of building a new ice cream parlour and a new entrance.
