MEET THE MUDCHUTE FARM ANIMALS
Our Farm is one of the largest inner City Farms anywhere in Europe. We pride ourselves on our wonderful collection of British rare breeds and currently have over 100 animals and fowl on our farm! We are proud to be London's only Rare Breed Survival Trust's Approved Conservation Farm Park.
Throughout Mudchute Farm's landscape and buildings you will be able to view our British Rare Breed animals. The larger animals graze in the outer enclosures and fields, while the smaller and perhaps more cuddly, are kept just next to the main courtyard in 'Pets Corner'.

Please note that most of the animals go to bed at around 3pm in the Winter and 4pm in the Summer.
Animal experience sessions can also be booked, in advance, as part of an event or party at Mudchute. Some of our friendliest small animals will be brought to your venue by Farm staff, who can explain more about them, while guests can get up close and stroke their fur or feathers. These sessions are very popular at children's parties.
Here at Mudchute we farm using high welfare, ethical methods and extensive farm systems to provide the best life for our native and rare breeds of farm livestock. Farm animals were domesticated over thousands of years living side by side with people to support our needs. The breeds that we farm at Mudchute tell a story about farms and their function, and about where food comes from, which many children struggle to relate to. This is an important educational part of what we do, and our animals help tell this story, as well as having a high-quality, natural life. Read more about Mudchute being a working farm here.
