THIS Bank Holiday weekend will get off to a strong start as a grand day out will be available for the whole family in Farrington Gurney.

A ‘Family Fun Day’ is being hosted from 10am on Saturday, August 23, at Farrington Park Golf Club, where there will be a wide range of activities available to try out.

It is being hosted by Mad Swans, who are a hotel resort located on the land of the golf club. They are hosting this day as a way to encourage people to visit as they show off their range of recreational activities.

Firstly, kids will be able to play for free on the site’s Putt Patch and Swing Barn.

The Putt Patch provides a challenging putting course that combines a competitive game with outdoor dining and drinks.

The Swing Barn is an all weather bay that provides top quality tracer golf games with unlimited balls, use of top quality clubs and also has the ability to enjoy some food and drink.

Also available at the course will be the Pickle and Paddle area on the resort’s new courts, which will be 50 per cent off for guests to use all day.

Tee times will also be open all day for people to play a game of golf around the 12 hole course at Farrington Park, which was designed by golf course architects Mackenzie & Ebert, who have also designed courses used on the Open Championship rota.

Music will be playing throughout the day, while access to refreshments will also be readily available.

The golf club can be found on Marsh Lane in Farrington Gurney with the postcode BS39 6TS.

While booking in advance is recommended, guests can choose to turn up without any reservations. The staff will be accommodating in showing any newcomers around.
