Wythenshawe Community Farm & Shop

Wythenshawe, United Kingdom•4.5(284)•City Park, Farm

Discover a working countryside farm in the heart of Manchester with free admission, offering children hands-on learning about food production and animal husbandry.

Wythenshawe Community Farm has been a beloved urban oasis since 1984, nestled within Wythenshawe Park. This working city farm provides families with an exciting opportunity for children to learn where food comes from while experiencing the authentic hustle and bustle of a genuine countryside farm setting. Open seven days a week with free admission, it's an accessible destination for all. Visitors encounter an impressive array of farm animals including cows, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, and horses, alongside a prize-winning herd of Hereford cattle. The farm maintains an extensive breeding programme, meaning young animals can be spotted at different times throughout the year, adding to the excitement for returning visitors. A walled garden at the farm's rear houses additional livestock in pens, maintaining the historical connection to when fruit and vegetables were grown here to supply the Tatton family at the hall. Beyond animal encounters, the on-site shop sells fresh farm produce including eggs, home-reared beef, lamb, pork, jams, chutneys, cheeses, and cured meats. Seasonal items such as Christmas trees and bedding plants are also available, with all proceeds supporting the farm's operations. The venue welcomes families with young children, dogs, and pushchairs, making it an inclusive destination for various family types and ages.

I love going here, I go almost everyday, besides the cows and pigs trying to chew on my hands all the time, the turkey there seems to like me a lot too, very nice to take your family or just go one a solo trip

Wythenshawe Community Farm & Shop is a hidden gem in Manchester offering a warm, family friendly experience with friendly animals and a cosy farm shop stocked with fresh local produce. The farmstead feels welcoming and well cared for and the animals seem content and approachable. Walking around the various paddocks offers a nice break from the urban environment and occasional staff led talks add a friendly educational touch. Picking up fresh eggs, vegetables, homemade baked items, cheeses and preserves feels like supporting local farming. It makes a great outing with kids or a peaceful solo stroll and an easy stop for wholesome farm food near the city.

Nice community farm and shop within Wythenshawe park and gardens. Children can get up close to young animals in pens. Or take a walk around walled garden with more animals. Shop has a selection of meat, plants, even farm sticker books for children. Disabled access throughout but could get a bit bumpy around walled garden.

Only small but a great little farm with friendly staff and lovely animals. This was my second visit and was great to see baby piglets and chicks and calf as well as ducklings! Fun for all ages and you can even buy fresh and home made produce! Which is fab! Defiantly a firm favourite of mine being local as well!
