Welcome to Heeley City Farm
Founded in 1981, Heeley City Farm is a community-focused urban farm, charity, and visitor attraction right in the heart of Sheffield. We connect people with nature through education, training, and inclusive programs that help everyone learn, grow, and thrive together.
Our friendly community café and garden shop, alongside our rare breed animals and open gardens, invite you to explore, relax, and enjoy a welcoming green space—free of charge, with donations gratefully received.

Adult Supported Placements
Tailored hands-on sessions—from animal care to arts and crafts—help adults with diverse needs build skills, gain confidence, and grow friendships, all while enjoying supportive outdoor work that nurtures health, happiness, and independence.Learn more
Secondary Alternative Provision
We offer flexible, practical learning for young people who struggle in mainstream education. By caring for animals, growing food, and exploring nature, they build confidence, gain new skills, and discover their strengths—at their own pace.
Primary Alternative Provision
A nurturing space where children (7–11) can learn, play, and explore. With woodland activities, animal care, and creative projects, they build social skills, independence, and self-awareness, unlocking their potential outside the classroom.
Dementia Support
Our sensory, nature-based sessions and animal visits provide calm, comfort, and connection for people living with dementia and their carers—promoting well-being, sparking memories, and offering a safe place to share and feel understood.
Garden Centre and Manure
Our fully peat free garden centre is run by participants in our programmes and open March-October each year.
Volunteering & Training
Join our friendly team and help with everything from feeding rare breeds to growing veggies. Gain hands-on experience, meet new people, and support a healthier, more inclusive community—your time truly makes a lasting difference.
