Adventures Away from Home at Ouseburn Farm for 11-16s

Free day visits for young people aged 11-16 from Newcastle and nearby areas

Join us for a fun, hands-on adventure at Ouseburn Farm! Each week, small groups of young people will spend a day discovering life on our working city farm - meeting the animals, getting stuck into gardening, and exploring the outdoors.

You’ll get the chance to:

• Feed and care for the farm animals
• Grow and taste your own food
• Try outdoor activities
• Make new friends and build confidence

Each visit is designed to help you learn new skills, grow in confidence, and enjoy the outdoors in a supportive, inclusive environment. All sessions are run by our experienced team, who make sure everyone feels safe, welcome, and part of the group — whether it’s your first time on a farm or you’ve been before.

PLEASE READ: Following signing up to this session, you'll be emailed with a pre and post session survey. To confirm your place, please complete the pre session survey in advance of attending.

Who it’s for:
Young people aged 11-16 who live in Newcastle and nearby areas, especially those from Byker, Walker, or other local communities who might not usually get the chance to enjoy experiences like this.

When:
One session per week, across 18 weeks (sign up for one or more sessions).

Cost:
Free to attend! Lunch can be provided if needed and transport to the farm (e.g. bus tickets) can be reimbursed.

If you decide your child can no longer attend, please let us know with as much notice as possible so we can offer the place to another child. Email admin@ouseburnfarm.org.uk
