Runaway Farm, KT9

This working farm provides a great mix of outdoor settings, as well as the traditional and new agricultural buildings. The same location also benefits from other additions to the farm including a gym and events space, glamping site, a light aircraft runway and an imposing WW2 blister hangar, providing a whole variety of classic and creative settings .
