Stonebridge City Farm is a small slice of the countryside in the heart of the City of Nottingham! Free to visit and open every day, they have a number of animals both big and small; gardens and polytunnels where they grow fruit, vegetables and herbs, and even produce honey; a nature walk where you can see a number of wild birds and butterflies; and amenities such as the café, shop and toilets.
The farm was set up in the late 1970s, and has recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. 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 visit for a while, perhaps to feed and pet some of the animals, and they do courses and special events for bee keepers and people interested in horticulture.
