Church Farm, Wingfield

Following the success of our 2025 season we are thrilled to return to Church Farm, the home of long-standing If Opera Patrons, David and Fiona Robinson, for our 2026 season.

Set to the backdrop of the Westbury White Horse, this rural idyll boasts an ancient farmhouse and the exquisite, fourteenth century parish church of St Mary which are surrounded by a peaceful churchyard, picturesque gardens, duckpond and sometime farmyard, complete with resident donkeys, Jimmy and Teddy!

Secluded and tranquil, these bucolic gardens will also once again offer plenty of picturesque picnic spots as well as hosting our Saddlespan Auditorium, Pop-up Bar, Patron’s Lawn and Picnic Canopy alongside our sell-out restaurant, The Cowshed by Homewood, and Taittinger Bar.

 

Church Farm, Wingfield, (A366 Wingfield Road), BA14 9LE is an eight minute drive from the centre of Bradford on Avon and there will be plenty of free parking onsite.
