Sustainability Workshops for Young People
The farm is running a series of educational workshops to teach young people about ways to live sustainably. The workshops are open to different age groups (8yrs-12yrs and 13yrs-18yrs). They are free to attend and all materials are provided, but you need to register so we know numbers attending. Parents are welcome to stay.
Next workshop:
Learn the art of traditional leathercraft
Sunday 19th October 2pm-4.30pm • Ages 13yrs-18yrs
For this workshop, students will learn the essential leathercrafting skills to create their own leather cardholder. These integral techniques include cutting leather from a pattern, hammering stitch holes, edge finishing and finally saddle stitching. The workshop will begin with a 30 minutes presentation of what is leather, what is it use for, and see examples of work/products that can be made with the very skills they will learn on the course.
The workshop is free to attend but you need to register your child(ren’s) place. So if you’d like to come along please complete the registration form here:

We celebrated our 50th Birthday in 2022
We have a rich history, kickstarted by Ed Berman who mobilised a community to improve its neighbourhood and create imaginative spaces for children to play and explore. Inter-Action steered by Ed, found farm buildings and stables and had a radical idea, to create a “City Farm”. This was the start of not only our own incredible history but of the whole City Farm movement. Today, Kentish Town City Farm is a hub, a place where everyone can get their hands dirty, care for real life animals, share their skills or learn new ones. Others come for the tranquillity, a haven for wildlife and sanctuary from the busy city.
Throughout the last fifty years we have relied on your support to make the farm the special place it is today. We hope you can continue to support us and make our 50th Birthday celebration another successful milestone in the farm’s history.
