Welcome to the sign ups for Pet Club! Our course covers all you need to know about small pet diets, safe handling, health checks, and what foods to grow to feed your pet. The sessions are open to young people aged 8-16 years, of all abilities and animaly backgrounds! Please only sign up for Saturday/Sunday/Thursday to ensure everyone gets a chance to join us! We cannot wait for you all to have guinea pig cuddles and snuggles, sheep walks, and bunny grooming!

It's time to book the next sessions of our midweek programme, Nature Nerds! We are so excited to bring our local Young People this opportunity to spend time at the farm. We know that KTCF is a safe and happy place for so many people, and research shows that being in and around nature and wildlife improves wellbeing. With that in mind, we are starting a series of 5-week sessions for Young People aged 8-16 who would benefit from this extra time on the farm. We will be using the entire farm, from our animals and gardens, to our local wildlife. Each group is for a maximum of 8 Young People only to ensure these wellbeing sessions are as effective as possible. Whether your Young Person is finding it hard with school, exam stress, has either long term or temporary issues affecting their wellbeing, or just needs a regular break on the farm each week, these sessions are for them. As this is a small and very new programme, we won't have any SEN support workers available, but if your child would benefit from attending you are welcome to bring their 1:1 support worker with. Please let the office know ahead of time.

Welcome to the Easter Holiday Hub! Open to Young People aged 8-16, our Holiday Hub offers an array of activities. From animal care, cooking, and gardening, to pottery, arts and crafts, nature groups, and games, attendees are guaranteed a full day on the move! We have three streams of booking, paid places and HAF (both Complex SEN and Mainstream for those eligible for Free School Meals). If you are not FSM-eligible, please do not book the free spaces. The HAF programme is a vital part of Camden's social care services, providing a guaranteed meal for those children experiencing food insecurity during school holidays. We work hard to secure grant funding for our programme to keep it at an affordable level. While we welcome Young People with SEN, we are not a SEN-specialist activity centre, and have a very limited amount of support staff - please ensure you are clear in your booking form as to what support your child requires, so we can ensure they have the best time with us! If you are booking a HAF place and your child has complex SEN needs (requiring 1:1 assistance), you will be directed to register interest only. We have a very limited budget for complex SEN, and unfortunately cannot take everyone who would like to be with us during the holidays. We will assign places based on both position in the waitlist, and available resources. We are a farm, so be prepared to get mucky!&nbsp; Attendees must bring outdoor boots/wellingtons to wear for outdoor activities, plus trainers for indoor activities. Clothing should be comfortable, covering shoulders and midriffs, and shorts should be no higher than knee-length. Please also bring a waterproof jacket, hat, and sunscreen, as we are outside in all kind of weather. Please also have a refillable water bottle with the Young Person's name on it. We provide a hot vegetarian meal and small afternoon snack every day, all made by our chef partners with assistance from the children. Feel free to bring extra snacks if your Young Person will need them, but these cannot contain nuts or sesame as we do not allow these onsite. Registration is between 9:30am and 9:50am, with sessions starting at 10am prompt. Pickup is at 4:30pm. Kit list: Wellies/walking boots Indoor trainers Waterproof jackets Warm layer for cold days Water bottle Appropriate clothing for the time of year Sunscreen Please send your child in clothes you don't mind getting dirty - we work with animals, paint, mud, and much more! Please ensure you bring the needed items, as we do not have many spares to go round! For any questions, please email info@ktcityfarm.org.uk

Thank you for booking Young Farmers! The Summer Term runs from 18/19 April, through to 18/19 July. Our Young Farmers programme has been an integral part of the farm, ever since we were founded over fifty years ago. Hundreds of young people have volunteered on the farm, with many going on to become vets, veterinary nurses, farmers, and more! Young Farmers is open to anyone aged 8 years – 16 years.The programme is free to attend.Sessions run on Saturday and Sunday mornings, 9:30 – 12:00.We take bookings for a term, following school term dates. Young farmers learn many skills, including all aspects of animal care – from mucking out and feeding, to proper handling skills and health checks. Everyone is expected to get involved, and we’re outside in all kinds of weather, so be prepared to work hard, get mucky, and have an amazing time! Regular, long-term attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in the annual London Harvest Festival, showing off their skills and our animals! Young Farmers is our most popular programme, with a huge waitlist. We provide this programme completely free of charge to support our young community members. As such, as of January 2026, we are introducing some very simple Ts &amp; Cs for attending. To secure a child's place, parents must agree to volunteer twice per term for the farm. This will either be two sessions on our Friends of the Farm stall (on the yard during Young Farmers sessions), or one stall session and one event session (May Day, Apple Day, Christmas Fair). Any child who is significantly late or misses sessions more than three times, will have their space cancelled and given to the next child on the waitlist. We are introducing these in order to help support the farm, and to ensure that empty places are not being held by children who are not committed to the programme, when we have such a long waitlist. Please note that if you want to volunteer for Duke of Edinburgh volunteering hours you need to contact the office on info@ktcityfarm.org.uk. Attending Young Farmers does not count towards DofE volunteering hours. Kit list: Wellies/walking boots Waterproof jackets Warm layers Water bottle Appropriate clothing for the time of year Sunscreen if needed
