Bake Sale at Butser Ancient farm cake fundraising

As a not-for-profit, independently run Community Interest Company we are grateful for the support of many organisations and individuals who make our research and education work possible.

If you would like to make a donation to support our work we would be very grateful.

Donations are processed through the Friends of Butser Ancient Farm, a registered charity (no. 1039961) set up to support the farm.

Because the Friends of Butser Ancient Farm is a registered charity, any donation you make may attract Gift Aid. Gift Aid allows charities to claim an extra 25p from the government, for every £1 you give. It will not cost you any extra. 100% of your donation will go to supporting Butser Ancient Farm in their experimental research and educational work.


The Farm would not be here today without the help and input of many different people and organisations - volunteers, Friends, funders, corporate groups, heritage sites, researchers, work experience students and long term work placements.

Alongside our research and educational projects we work regularly with a range of community organisations and charities on projects to engage socially isolated and disadvantaged individuals and groups with nature and heritage, most recently The Wessex Heritage Trust and Artscape.

I have very much appreciated our partnership and the offer we have been able to make to vulnerable people in the community... I believe Butser Ancient Farm can contribute greatly to the well-being of many people.
— Caroline Oswald, Project co-ordinator, The Wessex Heritage Trust, Nov 2019

If you would like to support the farm practically, or make a donation to support our work please get in touch or follow the donate link below. Any contributions make a huge difference to what we can achieve, thank you in advance!


You can also support us through Butser Plus, a patreon style membership where you can access behind the scenes content from the farm. For a small monthly donation which supports our ongoing projects you can access more than 50 videos telling the story behind the scenes at Butser Ancient Farm.


We also organise many events throughout the year to help raise money for the farm. By visiting the farm, attending an event or telling your friends about us you are helping to support our work - thank you! You can also purchase a workshop gift voucher by clicking here to be used at a later date.
