Spitalfields City Farm

Spitalfields City Farm is a community project located just a stones throw away from the square mile.

Spitafields City Farm was started in 1978 when local residents transformed some wasteland into allotments after losing their original patch to developers, before long chickens, rabbits and geese arrived and the farm was born!

The farm is home to a lot of animals including donkeys, ponies, goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, cats, waterfowl, chickens and guinea pigs; but the farm does a whole lot more...organic farms exist alongside the animals, children take part in a young farmers club on weekends and the farm works closely with volunteers, young children, the unemployed, homeless and people with learning difficulties.

A number of events take place at the farm throughout the year, including Christmas fairs, play programmes, animal welfare training, cookery classes and much more.

The farm is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am till 4.30pm with an early close at 4pm during the winter months. Find out more about Spitalfields City Farm.
