The Farm is CLOSED for the day (Thurs 14th May)
Just to let everyone know that we will be closed all day today for staff training, reopening as usual Friday 15th at 9am. We apologise for any inconvenience and hope to see you soon.
What’s On at the Farm?
A Massive Thanks To You All!
Thank you to the 1400 of you from near and far who came to our May Day celebration. We raised over £7000 for the farm! These vital funds keep our programmes low and no cost to our community, and keep our animals fed, healthy, and happy!
Come and Hear the Dawn Chorus
Wednesday 21st May 7am-8.30am
Join us for this rare opportunity to come to the farm before it opens! Hear the dawn chorus of birds, including robins, blackbirds, blackcaps, wrens, sparrows, great tits, blue tits, coal tits, and gold crests among others. The session will also teach you about the birds you see and hear across our four acre site, so you can recognise them and understand a bit about how they live.
The workshop is free to attend but please register using this form.
Why We Should All Love Moths
A meal at the farm, a talk by Tim Blackburn, and then a chance to see how moth traps are set up.
Wednesday 24th June 6.30pm-10pm
During the evening we will be providing an evening meal that includes produce grown right here on the farm. Donations towards the food will be welcome, but not essential.
This workshop is free to attend but you need to register here so we know how many to cook for.

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 in keeping the farm community vibrant for another 50 years to come.
