About the Business
Welcome to Lawrence Weston Community Farm, located in the heart of Bristol, United Kingdom. Our establishment, park, and point of interest are open to everyone, and we invite you to come and experience the magic of our sustainable farm.
Our farm is situated on a seven-acre site in Lawrence Weston and is run entirely by volunteers. We offer a range of exciting activities and events that promote community education, health and wellbeing, and environmental sustainability. Our farm is designed to be accessible to everyone, and we encourage visitors of all ages and abilities to participate in our initiatives.
With over 200 animals, including pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits, our farm provides a unique opportunity for people to experience farming life first-hand. We also have a thriving community garden, where we grow a variety of organic fruit and vegetables, and a wildflower meadow, which supports biodiversity and provides a peaceful respite from busy city life.
At Lawrence Weston Community Farm, we are committed to promoting sustainable practices and protecting the environment. We harness the power of renewable energy to run our farm, using solar panels to generate electricity and rainwater harvesting to irrigate our crops. We also offer educational workshops and events, where visitors can learn about sustainable living and green technologies.
Our farm is a true community asset, and we rely on the support of volunteers, donors, and visitors to keep our farm running. We welcome everyone to come and enjoy the serene surroundings of our farm and participate in any of our activities or events.
Join us today and be part of the Lawrence Weston Community Farm experience. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Reviews
"Unfortunately nothing like it's Web site. Allowing for the past wet weather, the living conditions of the animals was appalling. In particular the 3 sows that, were walking in mud upto their bellies, without dry sleeping stiles. Would not recommend a visit at all."
"Wonderful city farm, free entry, range of animals, good for walks"
"We only stopped for a quick visit but had a fab time. Really nice people. Animals all looked really well looked after and healthy. Really lovely feel to the place, we can't wait to come back and explore some more and get a bit more involved!"
"Today we went on an exciting adventure to Lawrence Western Community Farm. There was a lovely lady called Anne who greeted us when we arrived, showed us around and told us where to buy the animal feed. At the farm, we fed lots of hungry animals. We bought goat and chicken feed from a little stall for 50p per bag. We had fun with the chickens following us as we fed them (but they were behind the fence!). We fed five greedy goats and their tongues were warm! You don’t have to buy feed, as they enjoyed eating grass from our hands too. Because it’s spring, the goats, pigs and sheep were having babies! Five adorable, black lambs had already been born when we visited – they were very cute curled up in the corner together! The pregnant goats were very large – we thought one of them must have been having twins! We hope to visit the farm again to see the baby goats. Well worth a visit!"
"It's not fully open yet but still a lovely place to go. The staff are friendly and the animals are clearly enjoying the extra attention again. The toilets are open and the hand washing facilities are spot on. We took our 6 month old son and he loved feeding the goats, even if they did have a sneaky nibble and lick of his toes. There are plenty of places to sit and the woodland walk is brilliant. All was accessible with a pushchair and the woodland walk had a raised wooden walkway."
