About this activity

A free community farm where families can meet animals including goats, pigs, alpacas, chickens, ducks and lambs. Donations are welcome and animal feed costs £1.50 per bag. The visit is mainly outdoors, so dry weather is likely to be most comfortable. The official site currently lists opening every day from 10:00 to 16:00, but opening details can change; check before travelling. Parking guidance asks visitors to use Joel Terrace, NE10 0TX, then walk a short distance to the farm.
