We’re Ouseburn Farm – a working farm, popular visitor attraction and vibrant green space in the heart of the city, where everyone’s welcome and entry is always free.
We also provide work experience and friendship for vulnerable people and teach children and young people how to look after their environment. We’re a registered charity and our farmyard, gardens and visitor centre attract 30,000 people every year.
since 1976…
It all began over 40 years ago, when parents from Byker took over a plot of land on the site where the Farm is now. They wanted their children to have access to nature, to grow their own food and take care of animals.
We promote those values today by giving the people of our city the opportunity to care for nature, for each other and themselves through engagement with farm life.
Welcome!
We can’t wait to welcome you to this special place of ours, based right in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. Come visit our award-winning, environmentally friendly building, and spend time with our pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, tortoises, meadows, ponds and woodlands. As well as being a visitor attraction, we also offer training for vulnerable adults, volunteering opportunities for local people and a range of activities for families and schoolchildren.
