Two new exciting education projects at Airfield
About Airfield
Airfield is a 35 acre estate with working farm, formal gardens, café and shop situated in Dundrum, Dublin. It is a non profit Charitable Trust set up for educational and recreational purposes.
Airfield Escape and Discover... Airfield is a place of escape and life-long learning – a place to recharge as well as grow. Each encounter brings an opportunity to discover something new. Our arts and education programmes respond to the natural world and encourage active participation. Airfield’s Young Gardeners’, Farmers’ and Artists clubs’ create active opportunities to develop real skills. Our programmes are designed to enhance the science curriculum and to develop and nurture children’s own innate sense of curiosity and creativity. Seasonal celebrations and family days are filled with low-tech, good old- fashioned fun encouraging people of all ages to re-discover their spirit of playfulness in the fresh air.

Sustainable Saturdays
Airfield is now a GIY Ireland Centre and every month a group of interested people meet to share their knowledge and passion for growing food. The group is a mix of seasoned gardeners and newcomers and during the course of the afternoon they chat, exchange tips and learn new skills for growing their own food. Also, check out our Honesty Book Swap Stall—bring a book you have enjoyed and would like to pass on and find a new gem to take home with you. Meetings take place on the last Saturday of every month at 3pm
