Reviews of Hackney City Farm

Visit London review of Hackney City Farm

Reviewed by: Visit London
This urban farm — with its pigs, sheep, goats, chickens and more — brings a welcome whiff of rural life to Hackney. Founded more than 20 years ago, it’s particularly strong on cuddly furry friends (chinchillas produce the biggest ‘ahhhs’) and is also home to a garden and Italian café. The events programme spans pottery, art, craft and upholstery workshops, school visits and team building.
