November 2023 – Site update
With the volume of rain we have experienced throughout October and now into November, it is unsurprising that we find ourselves with very high water
Murton Farm, Tea Room and Nature Reserve is a popular visitor attraction in beautiful Angus located just outside Forfar.
Whether you are looking to let the kids burn off some energy on the farm, catch up with friends over a lunch or coffee in the tearoom or stroll on our beautiful nature reserve, we have something for everyone here at Murton. Booking is not required in advance but tickets for our farm can be purchased here on our website through the Book Now button. Take a look at our Events and What’s On section for all the event availability.
We have an abundance of safe, open space and fresh air for all to enjoy but we do still need your support to maintain our wonderful site. We are asking you to support us by donating what you can, when you visit. Our donation boxes can be found across our site and at our events. All donations made are greatly appreciated and every penny goes towards, running our educational programmes, the continued care of animals and year-round maintenance of our entire site.
Additional ways in which you can support us:
Events & Tipi Hire – We offer a wide selection of events and hire opportunities.
We offer outdoor and indoor facilities. We have a 24ft Tipi and firepit area on our nature reserve and our Rural Skills Cabin next to the tearoom. These can be hired for birthdays, gatherings, schools/groups or for meetings. Our hire options are flexible and we can provide food/drinks, staff led activities.
Volunteering and Placements
Our volunteer programee is for anyone aged 14 and over. We have many young volunteers who help at weekends and in the holidays when they can. We also have adult volunteers who help with any area of expertise or interest they have around Murton.
Please note that due to the fact that we have animals and wildlife on site, no dogs are permitted on Murton Trust grounds at any time, except for assistance dogs. Thank you for your understanding.
