St Werburghs City Farm is a vibrant community hub in the heart of Bristol. We manage over 18 acres of green space, including a small farm, community garden, conservation area and plant social enterprise. Our mission is to enhance the skills, health, and connections of people of all ages, including those experiencing a range of disadvantages, through volunteering and educational opportunities.
We offer diverse programmes that provide hands‑on experience in areas like gardening, animal care, cooking, landscaping and conservation. Our work strengthens the bond between land, animals, and people, while recognising the importance of green spaces for health and wellbeing. Committed to inclusion, we focus on addressing inequalities in access to green space, local food, and agricultural opportunities, particularly for those from disadvantaged or marginalised backgrounds.
