Perfect for Parties, Hen Dos & Gatherings
Located on the edge of the picturesque village of Great Gransden in Cambridgeshire, Fat Hen Farm is a working community farm that celebrates connection to nature and to each other.
The land is wonderfully varied, with open grassy spaces, young woodland, market-garden style vegetable beds, a pond, and winding secret tunnels waiting to be discovered. We also have friendly animals who love meeting visitors.
Camping & Glamping
We also offer camping. You can bring your own tent, or if you’d prefer something a little more comfortable, we also have bell tents available to hire.
Marquee & Hire Options
We have a 30ft x 50ft traditional pole marquee available for hire, and offer flexible packages that can include the marquee as part of your event. Get in touch to chat through your plans and find the best option for you.
