Newham City Farm

A great day out for children. You will get the chance to learn about enough animals to fill an ark.

Newham City Farm

The farm is home to a range of rare breeds, exotic birds and farmyard classics

Come and visit Blaze the gigantic Shire Horse or taste the honey made in the farm's very own bee hives. The farm's pond is home to a host of geese and ducks.
