What’s On at the Farm?
Come and hear the dawn chorus
Wednesday 21st May 7am-8.30am
Kentish Town City Farm
There are lots of birds at Kentish Town City Farm since the 4 acre site attracts birds from both the town and Hampstead Heath. This is a rare opportunity to come to the farm before it opens and hear the dawn chorus of birds including: robins, blackbirds, blackcaps, wrens, sparrows, great tits, blue tits, coal tits, gold crests among others. The session will also teach you about the birds 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 https://forms.gle/1DEewkTzMZZwcjvi7

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.
