Heeley City Farm's Young Peoples Fishing Club


Heeley City Farm is Sheffield's award-winning working farm, environmental enterprise, training centre and free visitor attraction.
The farm is a registered charity relying on fundraising, enterprising activities and the support of local people and organisations to fund their work.

The stars of the farm are the friendly animals, many of them being of the rare breed variety. The farm has a cafe which provides great tasting, low cost vegetarian food with home grown or locally sourced produce. There's a children's play area, a visitors shop and gardens to visit. They also run training courses in horticulture, renewable energy/efficiency, basic skills, ESOL, training for people with learning difficulties and volunteering/work experience. There's a lot on offer - give them a visit if you are in the area.

Best of all...
They run a fishing club! Yes I know we are bias - but let's be honest, if you are reading this - you're an out-and-out angler.

The Heeley City Farm's Young Peoples Fishing Club is open to any young person, male or female aged from 13 to 20 years, please contact the farm for more details.

The pictures on the left are from a club visit to Elm Tree Fisheries, in Rotherham, I reckon they all had a good time!

The picture of the two youngsters peering into the keepnet really sums what our sport is all about, you can imagine them counting just how many fish they have caught - and who's got the biggest?

Credit where credit is due - the organisers are doing their bit to introduce youngsters to angling.
