Airfield is a 38-acre working educational farm and gardens located in Dundrum, Dublin 14 (www.airfield.ie). As one of Dublin’s leading visitor attractions, we welcome local, national and international visitors throughout the year. We provide a wide range of programmes and activities that aim to promote an understanding of agriculture, horticulture and the link between farming and food production. Our purpose is a space to inspire and connect to get to know your food.

Over the next five years, Airfield’s goal is to become a leading voice in food sustainability beyond the walls of Dundrum. The charity wishes to continue to be an educational and visitor attraction, while in parallel develop its credentials as a force for good in terms of advocating for food sustainability for all, through being a voice and a real influence in society.

The future Airfield Estate will be a leading, self-funded, business orientated, educational and recreational visitor attraction, with a purpose to help people to get to know their food, building on the story and legacy of the Overend sisters.

As an independent educational visitor attraction, Airfield will continue to appeal to its core membership and day visitor audience, whilst broadening its geographic range and attracting a wider “foodie” and food producer audience, including national and international tourists.
