Bath City Farm

Situated on a beautiful 37-acre site, Bath City Farm is a living, working Farm, that’s also a much loved visitor attraction and a charity too. We provide education, training and therapeutic activities to people in the local community. The site benefits from stunning views over Bath and includes a community cafe and farm shop, farm animals, children’s playground, woodland and nature trails. Entrance is free however donations are very welcome.

The farm’s land is mentioned in the Domesday book, which was commissioned by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. The Domesday book shows how all the land in the UK was used and who owned it. It is very likely that the land has always been farmed, right from the very first farmers some 6 000 years ago.

It became known as Bath City Farm in the early 1990’s. The resident farmer retired, and the local community got together to secure its future as a valuable resource to benefit the whole community. The Farm gained charitable status in 1995. It is now a popular and well-respected site totaling 37 acres in all and has since become an integral part of the community, providing services and opportunities that extend well beyond urban farming. In addition to a working farm there is a children’s adventure play area, a cafe, an amphitheatre and community garden plots. Our services including educational activities for children and young people, volunteering opportunities and community events throughout the year.
