Aims: Bath City farm manages 37 acres of open access fields overlooking the City of Bath. We run a practical volunteering programme which involves hedgelaying, fencing, path building,gardening and other activities to maintain the site for conservation and amenity. We run play activities for children and young people and provide family learning opportunities. We have a building with an office, handwashing facilities and activity space. We have a flock of Soay sheep, goats, a pig, ducks and chickens. Because it is a steep site, access to parts of the farm might be difficult for those with restricted mobility.

Availability: Drop-in, Referral
Our practical conservation programme is open to all, but references are taken. Those with special needs are usually referred. Childrens activities are usually drop-in. Schools and other groups require booking and a preliminary visit.
