Mudchute Opening Update - 5 November 2020

Thursday, 05 November 2020 12:45

Following the government's announcement on another English lockdown, we ask for your understanding and co-operation as finalise our plans.

There are areas of the farm that are closed off and will remain closed for the foreseeable future, we ask that you respect these barriers and do not cross them.

The wider park will remain open but please do ensure that you follow the government guidelines when visiting Mudchute.

There will be no toilet facilities open onsite with the nearest public toilets being located in The local Asda.

The cafe will be operating a takeaway service only at the following times:

Monday-Friday

• 9:00am-11:00am - Hot and cold drinks and cakes only
• 11:00-3:00pm - A limited hot food menu as well as the drinks.

Saturday - Sunday

• 9:00am-11:00am - Hot and cold drinks and cakes only
• 11:00-4:00pm - A limited hot food menu as well as the drinks.

The mudchute shop is not open but is running online ordering.

Please remember that the cafe and shop are independent franchises and are not staffed by Mudchute staff.

We are very sad at the prospect of closing again and know our animals, as well as staff, will miss you. It is, however, of course for the greater good.

If you can donate to our go fund me fundraiser to support the animals feed, bedding and vets bills during this difficult time it would be greatly appreciated by us but more so the animals.

We will keep you updated with any changes as soon as we know.

Stay safe and thank you for your patience and support.

Saturday, 24 October 2020 16:31

Hello Everyone,

Here is an update from Farmer Tom and the Mudchute team.

We will be remaining closed for the time being along with most of the other city farms in London. This is due to is having to work out how best to open as we differ from other city farms being located on public open space. We are looking at ways to reopen the farm in as safe a way as possible, whilst still protecting key staff who look after the animals.

Our volunteering and work experience schemes are currently not running.

Our Cafe is open from Tuesday -Sunday 9:30am - 4:30pm.

The only toilets open on the farm are the ones located within the cafe and are for customer use only.

The wider park is still open and some animals can be viewed from a distance.

We are not running any Halloween events nor are we selling animal feed.

Please respect the closed off areas of the farm and do not cross the barriers.

Out of 15 city farms in London only the following farms below are open:

• Stepney City Farm
• Vauxhall City Farm
• Kentish Town City Farm
• Deen City Farm
• Freightliners City Farm

Please do check their websites as restrictions are in place and booking may be required.

Stay safe and well.

We hope to see you again soon.
