About City Farm Stoke-on-Trent
City Farm is a charity-run community farm in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent, set within Bucknall Park, with a mission to provide affordable, inclusive and accessible days out for everyone - and it is free to enter for casual visits. The farm is home to a friendly range of animals including sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, geese, ducks and chickens, along with an aviary, and visitors can come along at feeding time to see the animals cared for. Beyond the livestock the site has a wildflower meadow, an allotment, an area for growing pumpkins and a pond with wild ducks, giving it a gentle, nature-focused feel that suits younger children and families looking for a low-cost outing.

Current opening is Saturday and Sunday 10am to 3pm, with last admittance and feeding at 2pm; weekday hours are to be confirmed, so it is worth checking before you travel.
