Stonebridge City Farm Stonebridge Road, Nottingham NG3 2FR

"Excellent attraction to visit with the kids. My 4 year old grandson loved the place. You get to feed the sheep, goats and cows etc. Bags of food can be bought in the farm shops. The cafe did some lovely meals and the prices are very cheap. There is a good assortment of animals to see inside and out, we loved the meerkats. The play area outside suited kids of all ages. There are some picnic tables so you can eat your own food. There's some veggie , plant gardens you can check out. Toilets are kept very clean. It doesn't cost to go in but a donation is welcome or purchases from the shops. We did both as it's well worth the visit. X"

"We had a lovely time here. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and there was quite a lot to see. There's a large variety of animals to see, and you can purchase food pellets to feed some of them. It's a perfect day out, especially for families, and it's suitable for younger children. We will definitely go again on our next trip to Nottingham."

"This was a wonderful place to take children. Couldn't believe it was free! We left a donation and visited the shop. Very cute animals, lovley garden and play area. Was easy to find, the staff were very friendly and helpful."

"I hate the term hidden gem as it is overused when describing many interesting places, I prefer hidden treasure or better still lucky find and Stonebridge City Farm is a lucky find. Located just outside the city centre of Nottingham, this little urban farm and petting zoo and gardens is an ideal place to take young children all year round. There is a play area with climbing frames and swings and slides for children to have fun, a creepy crawly corner, a café selling drinks and cakes and a farm shop selling produce grown in the gardens which contain orchard trees and greenhouses and hidden away is the apiary. The honey produced by the bees is sold in the farm shop alongside the wonky looking vegetables and fruits. There is an area for hand washing and this is stressed as a must use area not only because of COVID but because of touching animals. Over the years I have visited I have seen all sorts of animals come and go including Lucy, one of the cheekiest of goats Ive come across. On one visit she grabbed the bag of food right out of my hand and blew raspberries at me oh, you can by animal feed for 60pence a bag and the kids love to feed the little animals especially the kids and lambs. In addition to the goats and sheep I have seen pair of Kune Kune Pigs, Charlie the Shetland Pony, cows, rabbits, guinea pigs, ponies, chickens of all breeds including some strangely furry looking chickens, ducks, birds, and even a couple of turkeys. As a registered charity it is funded entirely on donations and grants, its staff are all volunteers and host the educational visits from schools as well as general public visits. The farm has been open since 1980 or a site with residential houses one side and a few industrial units the other. It’s a about 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre and buses run along Carlton Road only a few 100 yards away. Here is a small parking area and much of the farm is accessible to people with disabilities although some of the garden and orchard areas are not level ground and can cause a few stumbles. There is no admission fee although in my opinion 50 pence per child and £1 per adult would not be too much to charge and would go a long way to running the site."

"The farm is very near to the Nottingham city centre. There are a limited free parking spaces on the farm but there is also street parking nearby. The farm has a variety of animals as well as farm produce such as the cooking apples. The place suitable for all and particularly young children will enjoy seeing these animals. This place is also wheelchair accessible. There is a shop,a cafe, visitors toilets, a hall where birthday parties can be held and also a playing area for children. I would highly recommend this place."
