Grimsbury Farm Bristol is a free to visit community farm located in Kingswood, Bristol. The farm is owned and run by South Gloucestershire Council with the support of volunteers and has been running for as long as I can remember. My Grandma lives walking distance and I’ve been coming here since. I was a child. There are many different animals – pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, birds, horses, chickens, ducks and more. As well as a large play area, cafe serving hot and cold food and a food kiosk in the play area.
You are able to get involved and feed the sheep and goats by hand with the purchase of animal feed for £1 a bucket. There is also duck and chicken feed available also at £1 a bucket. You can also make donations to support the farm at the Kiosk whilst purchasing your animal feed. There are sometimes extra handling and feeding opportunities depending on when you visit the farm.
