Airfield Estate
Airfield Estate is Dublin's only working urban farm open to the public, tucked away in Dundrum just a short drive from the city centre. Across roughly 38 acres, families can meet cows, sheep, pigs, goats and chickens on the working farm, join the daily animal feeding walk, and explore productive vegetable gardens and orchards that supply the estate's own kitchens. Younger children can burn off energy on the indoor and outdoor playgrounds, a zipwire, and a dedicated fairy hill, while older kids enjoy the network of paths winding through parkland and formal gardens surrounding the restored Overend family home. On-site dining ranges from casual snacks at the Stables Cafe to a full sit-down meal at Overends Kitchen, and there's a small shop plus a Friday-Saturday farmer's market for picking up local produce. The site is designed to be buggy- and wheelchair-friendly, with accessible toilets, baby-changing facilities, shaded picnic spots and staff trained to support visitors with additional needs. Whether it's a rainy-day ramble past the animals or a full day out combining farm, food and gardens, Airfield gives city-based families a genuine taste of rural life without leaving Dublin.

Young Chef at Airfield Estate
Young Chef workshops at Airfield Estate in Dundrum give children aged 8 to 12 a hands-on cooking experience in the estate's Inspiration Kitchen, which looks out over its own food garden. Where possible, ingredients used in class are grown on site. Sunday sessions (10am-12.30pm) are led by experienced educators and cover both sweet and savoury dishes, giving young chefs a rounded set of practical cooking skills rather than a single recipe focus. Beyond the cooking itself, the workshops build a deeper connection to fresh, seasonal ingredients and where food actually comes from - a useful complement to any child's general food education, set against the backdrop of a working city farm estate.

Sharp Kids
Sharp Kids classes give 3 to 6 year olds a lively introduction to music, designed as preparation for later learning the piano or another instrument. Rather than starting straight on an instrument, sessions build the underlying musical skills first. Children work on beat, rhythm, pitch and aural awareness through games and activities suited to their age, laying foundations that make picking up an instrument later noticeably easier. For parents considering piano or instrumental lessons down the line, Sharp Kids offers a gentle, age-appropriate starting point before formal tuition begins.
