Stonebridge City Farm

About

Coronavirus update: Stonebridge City Farm has now reopened to the public with new safety guidelines and signage in place.

Admission is FREE.

Stonebridge City Farm is a slice of the country in the heart of Nottingham City! We are free to enter and open every day for everyone to enjoy. Its ideals include providing a much-needed green space, sustainable buildings, distinctive local identity and people who care and respect the community.

The site is accessible to all – families with young children, people with disabilities, and parties from schools and colleges. You can just come for a while, perhaps to feed and pet some of the animals, or we do courses and special events for bee keepers and people interested in horticulture. The farm has been accredited with many awards for its efforts and contributions over the years, as we provide so much to community and would like to take pride in this.

Animals
We’ve got big and small animals, including cows, sheep, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks and turkeys and lots more! You can feed our bigger animals with food bought from the shop and get closer to our smaller animals with our animal handling sessions.

Café
In our very own Café, you can enjoy delicious, organic and locally sourced meals, with a regular menu and daily specials. Home-made cakes are also available daily, including carrot cake, Victoria sponge and cupcakes. You can ask our chef for a child’s portion or to take-away. Our Fine Dining Evenings are where you can enjoy a 3-course meal at the Farm during the summer months. We hope you enjoy your meal at the café and become one of our many regular customers!

Gardens
Our gardens and poly-tunnels are great to walk around and learn about home food production and horticulture. We regularly grow fruit, vegetable and herbs, we even produce our own honey, which are sold in the shop or used in our café! Experience our nature walk that goes round the whole Farm for you to see numerous wild birds, butterflies, and other insects.

The Trading Post
Our Farm shop sells our own produce from the Farm and also many hand-crafted gifts donated by our visitors. We sell fresh eggs daily from our 60 hens, as well as duck and turkey eggs when available. There’s also honey from our hives and jams made from fruit grown on the farm; fresh produce; and a wide selection of plants, from herbs and flowers to shrubs and small trees. For kids we have a varied selection of pocket money toys (animals, vehicles, masks, buckets and spades etc.) together with a good selection of sweets. In winter we also stock essentials like gloves, scarves and hats!

Events & Courses
Throughout the year we hold many events and courses with activities and workshops suitable for children and adults. Courses on beekeeping, wild food, horticulture and chicken-keeping will need to be booked in advance.
There is also a play area, wildlife pond and outside seating for the café. We also have a room to hire, if you would like to hold children’s parties here, with additional features like animal handling, animal food, organic lunch menu and home-made cakes to order.
We have members of staff with excellent knowledge of animal husbandry, beekeeping and gardening, who can help you with any questions about home food production.

For those of you with small animals  we offer to pet boarding for rabbits and guinea pigs if you go on holiday.
