Report written by Meyrick Williams (He/Him)
Can I just begin by apologising for this report being so late? Good, thanks. Secondly, we've been working with Bath City for years now, and have been fortunate to see it's evolution from something already great, to something transcending even wildest predictions.
It's still free to enter, which is a wonder these days. They had a brand new state of the art cafe now, as well as multiple permanent structures, barns, a yurt as well as significant landscaping to allow them to present a more immersive experience for visitors as well as a more comforting habitat for the flora and fuana.
"What next then?", I hear you ask. FarmFest that's what. Once a year they have a festival, complete with live music, that seems to be getting bigger and more ambitious with each year (consistent with the farm in general).
Our jog today was to help set up for FarmFest, which involved erecting a number of gazebos and organising tables beneath. Between us, Bennath, Cosmo, Meyrick and NEWCOMER (you are very welcome) Sam we achieved everything that was asked of us in the time we had. Sadly, none of us could stay for the festival, but I hope it went well!!
Bath City Farm was set up by the local community in the early 1990s, when the resident farmer retired. It gained charitable status in 1995. Over the past 17 years there has been considerable progress on site, including introducing our Soay sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and pigs, a pony and most recently a flock of guinea fowl

It will keep the site neat and tidy with a view to welcoming the swimmers of Bath once again.
