A green urban oasis

Children and Young People

We offer a variety of fun outdoor activities for children and young people – including a youth club, free holiday activities, school and group visits, Forest School sessions and alternative education placements.

Depending on the projects, we accept young people through a simple application or sometimes a referral process.

We aim to support young people to make connections with nature and animals, learn new skills, develop their confidence and make social connections. We do this through designing hands-on activities with our animals at the farm and at our small nature reserve site round the corner at Boiling Wells.

Interested in Getting Involved?

Send us an email letting us know which outdoor educational experience(s) you’re interested in and we’ll get back to you.

Or contact the Child and Youth Team directly by emailing childandyouth@swcityfarm.co.uk or by calling 0117 9428241.
