What’s On This October at Windmill Hill City Farm

24th SEPTEMBER 2026

Something a little spooky is happening at Windmill Hill City Farm this October!

As the days get shorter and the leaves start to turn, October is a lovely time to visit the farm. Come and see the gardens change with the season, spot the animals enjoying the cooler weather, wander through the falling leaves and make the most of our 4.5 acres of green space in the heart of Bristol.

And the best bit? It’s free to visit the farm. We’re open 7 days a week, so you can pop in for a quick wander, spend a few hours exploring or make a day of it.

When you’re ready to warm up, head to the café for a hot drink, homemade cake or something seasonal to eat. Our menu changes with the seasons, with plenty of warming, veg-led dishes, soups, lunches and freshly made treats.

There’s also plenty happening throughout October, from creative workshops and yoga to our seasonal market and some spooky family fun.
