The Farm is open 9am till 5pm every day of the year except Christmas Day. The animals are usually out from 10am till about 3pm.

Heeley City Farm is a completely open site and is free to member of the public to come and look round, but we welcome donations. School/groups visits can be arranged for a charge.

There isn't a car park at the farm but the site is surrounded by roads that you can park on for free.

• Cafe know as The Farm Kitchen

• Garden Centre (open March-October)

• Wildlife gardens

• Dementia garden known as The Valerie Garden

• Food growing areas

Yes! Dogs are always welcome at the Farm, all we ask is that you keep the dog on a lead and that you don't go into the small animal house with your dog as it may scare the small animals that live in there.

Café’s opening hours are 9.30 – 4pm with last orders for meals at 2.45. It’s open every day of the week except for 2 weeks over Xmas.

Yes, the farm kitchen does sell meat, but also has a good range of vegetarian and vegan options

Yes, but we ask that you only feed the animals with the animal feed bought from the cafe.

We have all the animals you’d expect to find on a farm as well as ponies and a small animal house with some more unusual animals.
We’re a registered rare breed’s farm park with the Rare Breed’s Survival Trust (RBST) with most of our animals being native British breeds of animal recognized as threatened or endangered. We aim to create a vibrant visitor’s attraction and educate volunteers and visitors. We teach young people and adults animal care and many of our animals have a therapeutic benefit, both at the farm and out and about in care homes and schools. We breed some of our animals so our volunteers and visitors can experience and work with young animals. Our sheep are regularly used as part of conservation grazing projects in Sheffield and the Peak District, so you may not always find them at the farm site.

Whilst the majority of our work takes place on the main farm site, we also help to manage the vegetable garden at Meersbrook Walled Garden alongside our adult groups. The participants in our education and wellbeing programmes come from all around the city and often form their own communities within the farm.

You can donate online by going to https://www.justgiving.com/heeleycityfarm, alternatively there are donation boxes up around the Farm as well as in the Cafe and in the Offices.
