Ouseburn Farm
A free-to-enter charity-run city farm in the Ouseburn Valley, with farm animals, a café and weekend and school-holiday family sessions.
About Ouseburn Farm
Ouseburn Farm is a working city farm run by a local charity in the heart of the Ouseburn Valley, a short walk east of the Quayside and just down the road from Seven Stories. Entry is free for everyone, with donations welcome, and families can meet the farm animals, explore the grounds and stop at the on-site café.
At weekends and during the school holidays the farm runs family activities such as Farmers' Club, Caring for Critters and seasonal sessions like lamb feeding and pond dipping, with tickets booked through its website. Opening hours vary through the year, so check before you visit.
