Ouseburn Farm

Working city farm in a converted Victorian warehouse housing sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens across multiple levels. Educational programs run daily with animal feeding sessions at 11am and 3pm. The farm grows organic vegetables and herbs sold in the small on-site shop. It sits in Newcastle upon Tyne's Ouseburn Valley, close to the other main sights. It sits below the headline sights but earns its place on a longer visit to Newcastle upon Tyne. Tickets cost £4 adult, £3 child, £12 family, under 2s free and 1-1.5 hours is enough to see everything without rushing.
