The farm has been through difficult times during the past few years.Due to budget cuts and funds being redirected to social care,the farm needs support. This is a Charity/Community Project so there are plenty of volunteering opportunities if you have some spare time to offer. The farm provides a great day out for families and inter-generation visits.The setting is semi rural and over looks the River Tyne. The support staff are dedicated to making visits enjoyable to the animals and human involvement.There are enjoyable walks which allows visitors to amble and take in some fresh air. The relaunch of the cafe (great little space,cosy and inviting) provides a nice break and sit down. The Art Project and Education room is about to be reinstated. It will be great to see the Farm come springtime with new animals and nature unfolding. Situated in lower Pelaw/Bill Quay, there are parking spaces on Fisher Well Road and a short pedestrian path to the farm.The area is a pleasant little area with quirky landmarks lots of green spaces and nature walks. The Eastern Bypass is close and there is a local Metro system a hundred yards away. The location is great for travelling south towards the coast (7 mile) and Gateshead,towards the Sage and Baltic venues.

Located in a stunning position underneath three soaring bridges, Ouseburn Farm is a green oasis in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. Get up close with the animals. The purpose built barn and the Farm's fields and meadows provide the perfect home for our sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. Explore the fields, woods and ponds. Stroll around the garden. Look around our award-winning, sustainably built visitor centre with its energy and water-saving features. Entrance to the farm is free, but we welcome donations. Please be generous! Ouseburn Farm is family friendly and it's easily accessible for both pushchairs and wheelchairs.

We popped in here after the Victoria Tunnel tour as it’s super close. Mental how there is a little farm in the middle of a city. It’s lovely, very small but has everything you need if you have little ones! Also a nice walk around the farm. Thank you ????

We visited at the weekend when they had the medieval reenactment on. Absolutely loved walking around the village visiting each tent to learn something new. The children got to try out the shields and weapons which they thought was brilliant, and we got to watch demonstrations of different crafts: tablet weaving, blacksmithing, wood carving, grinding flour, and a medieval ale recipe! The reenactment group really took the time to walk us through life in medieval times, making it fun for both the adults and children. What a great team of people! (The only thing that could improve on this would be if there was music included, like a lute player, for the full experience. Although the roosters tried their best to add sound effects!!) The farm has expanded lots since I last visited, loved the fact it's now a sanctuary that rescues animals. I'd revisit again just for a walk around here. The children got to feed the animals which was great. We visited the museum and spotted the dragons. All in all, a perfect day. Definitely recommend!

Visited weekday in the school holidays with my 4 year old granddaughter. Plenty car parking space and when we arrived there were lots of cars already parked. However, as we moved around the site there was never a time when we felt crowded. Everything is spaced out with ample space for everyone to enjoy. There was a range of play equipment in different areas, well maintained and age recommendations. The bouncy pillow was great and again, separate ones for younger and older children. Loads of animals to see and a timetable of activities given to us on arrival so we could decide what we wanted to do. The tractor ride to the cow field was good value at 50p each - very informative. We groomed the donkey, brushed rabbits and watched a funny magician show. We took a picnic for lunch and there were plenty of picnic tables. The cafe served a range of food and drinks. Good toilet facilities and lots of handwashing / sanitizing facilities around. So much to do - a great day out. Daily charges were reasonable considering the range of things to see and do - would definitely recommend.
