HEELEY CITY FARM

Supporting care, community, education, environment and wellbeing in the community since 1981

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.
