Simon's News : Simon is the 3rd generation Beckett to farm in Wythall 
13th July. On Sunday 11th July we had an inspiring display of supertrials biking here at Beckett's Farm. It was amazing to see a rider, using nothing but his own physical muscles and skill, "jumping" his bike on to a platform well over a metre high, turning and twisting in the process to be in the right position to tackle the next obstacle. The event was won by Danny Butler and it was a huge success in every way. Thank you to the many hundreds who turned up to support it. Danny will be giving another demonstration on Sunday 10th October.
Meanwhile if you are looking for activities for the summer holidays, Children's Cookery Classes are running next month between 9-18 August. They're suitable for 8-14 year olds and great for getting children active in the kitchen. They will learn to make, among other dishes, Lamb Bolognaise, Chicken Kiev and Chocolate Mousse Cake. Then there's also a completely new class aimed at young people (15-18 year olds) to introduce them to some core dishes to see them through college or university. See our timetable for more details.
We're offering a Summer Special on our incredibly popular Children's Birthday Parties. There will be a 10% discount for bookings during August - but when booking please be sure to mention you saw this on our website.
About Beckett's Farm
Becketts have been farming in Wythall - just south of Birmingham - for 73 years and our mission is to bring both food and farming closer to the people. Beginning with just eggs from the farm back door we have always sold direct to the public. Today our Farm Shop employs four highly skilled butchers, six bakers and confectioners plus numerous trained assistants to supply you with the highest quality fresh meat, baked goods, greengrocery, preserves, eggs, deli produce and more.
We offer a tremendous range of sandwiches made while you wait, and a hot food counter where both snacks and whole meals are as tasty and genuine as granny used to make. If you'd like to enhance your own cooking skills our Cookery School gives regular classes geared from beginner to professional level, with childrens' parties a speciality.
Our all-day Restaurant seats up to 140 and prepares meals from the same produce that is offered in the Farm Shop. At intervals through the year and especially at Christmas it hosts special Themed Shows. The Restaurant incorporates a speciality coffee bar.
We have a Conference Centre with full facilities for up to 60 delegates and smaller rooms also available. A wide range of high quality catering options is offered by our Restaurant staff.
