See & do

We offer interactive and engaging workshops on a range of topics to do with food, farming and the natural world.

Here are some of the most popular workshops we get asked to deliver. If you have a topic not covered here, let us know and we can usually meet your needs.

All workshops are £100 for an hour and a half with an experienced member of the Farm’s Education Team. Maximum capcity for each workshop varies so please check in the workshop description that it will meet your class size.

After the workshop you are welcome to stay and explore the Farm and its gardens.

A green oasis in the middle of the city, Hackney City Farm is a unique venue to host your events, whether they are training sessions, children’s birthday parties or corporate away days.

We are also popular with bands, advertisers, television companies and film production crews who hire our locations, props and animals and propel them to stardom – Peppa Pig started here.

Open all year round to the public, the garden is divided into sections: the orchard area with apple, pear and plum trees, and the bog garden filled with wetland plants. A large part of the garden is given over to raised beds in which we grow vegetables and at the top end of the garden, we have a selection of herb beds with many different varieties including types of mint, sage, thyme and marjoram.

All of our classes have restarted.

Frizzante Cafe is styled on the typical Italian agriturismo where the food used in the restaurant, including meat, vegetables, oil and wine are almost entirely produced on the farm.

All of our food is freshly cooked on the premises using seasonal ingredients and, whenever possible, ingredients from Hackney Farm gardens.

From fresh pasta and salads to Sunday roasts, delicious homemade cakes, locally made Italian style ice-cream and English fruit juices.
