Mudchute Park & Farm

Mudchute is a fantastic destination for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to enjoy nature
(458)

Established in the 1970's, Mudchute Park and Farm is one of the largest city farms in Europe. With 32 acres of countryside, located a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Canary Wharf, the farm is a place where you can experience rural life without leaving the city. We are proud to be one of London's only Rare Breed Survival Trust's Approved Conservation Farm Parks. The farm is home to

over 100 animals, including pigs, sheep, goats, cows, ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas. Visitors can get up close and personal with the animals by feeding them or petting them under the supervision of the farm's expert staff. In addition to its animal residents, Mudchute Park and Farm boasts a range of facilities for visitors. The farm has a cafe serving delicious homemade food, and a gift shop selling a range of souvenirs and farm produce. The Farm includes a Children's Nursery and offers many facilities for local residents, businesses and schools, including an Education Centre, Corporate Volunteering Days, Team Building Days, Party Hire, Meeting Rooms, Venue and Field Hire for large and small meetings and events. The farm also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including open days, seasonal festivals, and educational workshops. The Farm is a community charity and our aim is
* to preserve the natural environment of the Mudchute
* to promote for local people the opportunity of recreation and leisure on the Mudchute, especially the young, the elderly and those of limited economic means
* to advance the education of local people in countryside activities
* to promote animal welfare through engagement with the Farm
* to provide education and training for young people
* to promote conservation both of the natural and the built environment

Mudchute Park and Farm is a fantastic destination for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to escape city life and enjoy some time in nature. With its wide range of facilities and activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy at this unique urban farm.

Our Call Ducks are making the most of the winter sunshine with some busy foraging. They may be the smallest domestic duck breed but they have a mighty loud quack! We've got lots of different ducks at the farm, as well as a host of other animals - the perfect winter activity to get you out of the house. Plus, if you want to give something back please donate to our fundraising for the animals at https://www.mudchute.org/fundraising-appeals @britishwaterfowlassociation #cityfarm #ducks #daysoutuk #mudchutefarm

Great welcoming some police horses to the farm recently for some exercise. These magnificent animals really are impressive and lovely seeing them enjoy the East London countryside! Come down and check out our own animals though, we've lots to see - and feed! #workinghorses #cityfarm #eastlondon #horses

Waggiest Tail Competition at the brilliant Mudchute Park & Farm Fun Dog Day. Thank you to everyone who attended, entered and supported this amazing community day.

Unfortunately not everyone respects the farm and more importantly the animals, it is really disheartening for us to see this behaviour. The unnecessary stress to the sheep could harm them especially if they crash into a fence to get away. Luckily we saw this person, and they were removed from the field. Thank you to the vast majority of Mudchute Park & Farm visitors who respect the farm and animals.
