About Bluebell Dairy
Bluebell Dairy is a family-run dairy farm at Brunswood Farm on Locko Road, just outside Derby, that has grown into a popular family day out. The farm offers hands-on animal encounters where visitors can meet and help feed animals including cows, goats, sheep, rabbits and calves, and its famous Highland cows are a highlight - there is even a Highland Cow afternoon tea experience. Alongside the animals there are indoor and outdoor activities to keep children busy, plus seasonal events through the year. The on-site Moo & Brew Cafe and ice cream parlour use the dairy's own produce, making the ice cream a key part of the visit. The farm is open most days with the exception of Tuesday, typically from late morning to late afternoon, though hours vary seasonally so it is worth checking the website first. Farm park visits must be pre-booked in advance. There is on-site parking and toilets, making it an easy, self-contained outing for families with younger children who want to combine animals, play and a treat in one trip.
