Deen City Farm
Deen City Farm is a unique, educational resource and registered charity in SW London, giving people the opportunity to learn from their visit or contribution to a successful community project. Two alpacas and a snow-white peacock are just some of the unusual animals proud to call the extensive Deen City Farm their home. As well as the amazing collection of cuddly creatures, Deen City Farm also boasts an incredibly resourceful programme of events and activities. Youngsters can have fun learning all about looking after animals in the Young Farmers Club. Grooming, feeding, mucking out and playing with the farm’s animals form part of this educational but fun group. Quizzes and games, along with hands-on activities, make the Own a Pony Club absorbing and enjoyable for young children while arts, crafts, games and cooking are used to support the Discovery Club. There's also horse-riding throughout the year - pony rides take place every week day at 12 noon.
All farm animals including mixed poultry, horses, rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs, cows and pet area. Also a cafe, shop and riding school. Farm produce for sale including eggs, also pet supplies and gifts.
