The Farm Club

The Farm Club is a countryside wellbeing and fitness venue at Mere View Farm in Pickmere, near Knutsford. Set within 300 acres of Cheshire countryside, the venue brings together movement, outdoor water activities, recovery sessions and café dining in a relaxed farm setting. It offers a change of pace from the city while remaining within reach of Manchester.

Activities centre on a spring-fed lake, with open-water swimming and sessions combining guided breathwork with cold-water immersion. Recovery options include sauna and ice-bath experiences, while movement classes cover yoga, Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, strength training and coached fitness sessions. A run club adds an outdoor option, with routes and training taking place across the estate and beyond.

The atmosphere is sociable and restorative rather than formal. Classes take place in spaces including a studio, barn and lakeside areas, with selected experiences designed around slowing down, breathing and spending time outdoors. Sound baths, breathwork and sauna sessions suit visitors looking for rest, while coached classes provide a more active visit. The on-site café adds a place for lunch or a pause around a session.

The Farm Club also hosts longer retreat days that combine movement, swimming, heat and cold recovery, food and relaxation across the estate. Private group and corporate experiences are available, with itineraries built around team connection, activity and downtime. The range makes the venue suitable for solo visitors, friends, fitness groups and workplace gatherings, depending on the chosen session.

Pickmere’s rural setting gives the venue a slower, open-air character, with the lake and surrounding estate shaping much of the experience. A visit can be built around a single class, a swim and café stop, or a fuller programme of movement and recovery.
