Summer at Cool Contours Venue: Sun, Wildlife, and a Busy Season 🌞

It’s been a hot and dry summer here at Cool Contours Venue and Warden Farms. The farm has been buzzing with activity with all the wonderful new life that seems to be thriving regardless of the lack of water. We have seen many young partridge, pheasants and deer around the place along with hundreds of rabbits and songbirds which is wonderful to see.

Cool Contours has been busy welcoming guests that have been staying in our Airbnb rooms for Cropredy Festival and Silverstone. Our event venue has been full of energy too — we’ve hosted dog training days, bridge mornings and meetings against the backdrop of the countryside.

This year’s blackberries are particularly abundant — and they were early! Not only this but all our fruit trees around the farm have been producing copious amounts of produce that we can’t keep up with them!

It’s been a season of sun, learning and wildlife while we hope for our lovely guests over the bank holiday that this weather stay we are also crossing our fingers for a bit of rain so we can get next years crops in the ground before the winter!
