Welcome to the Radford Mill Farm page, coming to you from the heart of the beautiful Somerset countryside near Bath and Bristol.. Please spend a bit of time getting to know us and what we do and maybe we can tempt you to come and visit our Farm. Radford Mill is a 115 acre farm managed organically since 1976. We also operate the Radford Mill Farm Shop. 41 Picton St,, Montpelier, Bristol BS
6 5PZ where much of our produce is sold. For more than 40 years we have produced beef, lamb and pork, turkeys at Christmas, manufactured yoghurts, jams, chutneys and fruit juices. We have also hosted hundreds of events, from circuses to classical concerts, courses, mini-raves, creative festivals, camping parties, and workshops. We host large numbers of volunteers, mostly through the WWOOF organisation, whose help and enthusiasm enliven our community and greatly assist with farm work. They take on all manner of tasks, a good deal of weeding, pruning, building projects and harvesting, We couldn’t manage without them! Radford Mill has hosted a multitude of events over the years and we are keen to increase our current use of this beautiful and unusual venue for weddings, parties, retreats, workshops, courses, concerts and festivals. You name it! We have a selection of spaces available and we arrange spaces to best suit each kind of activity. We feature compost toilets, wood-fired hot showers, solar panel lighting, camping and barbecues. The Piggery is indoors and is suitable for 20 to 70 people for dancing, yoga, small conferences and indoor workshops, birthday parties and weddings, formal dinners or music events. We have a kitchen nearby and we can cater for any kind of menu, large parties or small snacks. The Farmhouse has a large kitchen/dining/sitting area and can be used for small courses. We have several bedrooms to accommodate guests, and we offer breakfasts and other meals as desired. The Fields: We have several field spaces that are suitable for outdoor events, and we have successfully hosted a classical music concert, several weddings, a production of “Wind in the Willows”, and various circuses. We provide marquees for protection against the weather when necessary. Each part of the Farm is available for one-off events, or as a weekly or monthly meeting space, for clubs or classes or whatever you would like (within reason... .) Weddings
A wedding at Radford Mill is a truly unique experience. The setting is gorgeous, lush countryside views all around, unspoiled and peaceful; it’s a perfect setting for your fantastic wedding. Each wedding is a distinctive and very personal happening. We work with you to provide as much or as little as you require. We can provide marquees to accommodate up to 200 people, to stand alone, or to attach to the Piggery to provide indoor space for a band and dancing. We can provide all catering, from cosy family pre wedding breakfasts, champagne and canapés through to a formal dinner. Radford Mill does not have a wedding licence, but with Bath a 20 minutes' drive away, it is conveniently located for the reception festivities. Eating at Radford Mill
We are primarily food producers, and we use ingredients that are mostly produced here. All produce from Radford Mill is certified organic. Our small group of talented professional chefs can create the menu of your choice and recent menus have included wild green soup, breast of pigeon, paella, barbecued chicken, venison casserole, flavoured cheesecakes and pumpkin pie. Our portions are very generous and we always offer a vegetarian or vegan selection. Our terms are very competitive. Alternatively you may simply hire the venue and bring in all the catering yourself. Camping
We have three large camping fields available for individuals or group events. Come and enjoy camping as it should be, close to nature, simple, and with plenty of space. Each site has water, compost toilets and fire pits. We can offer a selection of farm produce for sale, or by arrangement natural foods and essentials from our Bristol wholefood shop. We accept caravans and camper vans with some limitations, as they are not kind to the grass. A river – the Cam Brook -- flows along all the fields; it's a quiet and shallow river but needs to be taken into consideration for families with young children. The daily camping rate is £10 per person (under 16's are free). Group rates are variable depending on the type of group or event but our prices are reasonable. This is a wonderful venue for celebrations, such as family reunions and birthday parties. Whole fields can be hired to provide camping space for small festivals, educational or recreational holidays or camp-outs. We are situated along the ‘Limestone Link’ with glorious walks in every direction. The historic Somerset Coal Canal runs through the farm. It’s a great place to relax and revive.
