Adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for children is this two-acre animal farm. The emphasis is on giving people the chance to see a real working farm in the city centre, so dont expect a mini petting zoo. Animals on the farm include cows, pigs, rabbits, poultry and everything else youd expect to find on a domestic farm. You cant feed the animals, but little ones will love the chance to get up close to real live farmyard friends. There are also paddocks and gardens for adults to stroll through and admire. The farm also runs pottery and upholstery classes in addition to a summer play scheme. Call for information about adopting animals, volunteering, farm community projects and school visits.
