The Community Building
The Community Building is our most readily available space, and easy to access on evenings and weekends once issued with your own key. It is our largest indoor space so offers the most versatility for you to run your event, in your way. If you bring decorations, props or food, we ask that you allow sufficient time to take it down and tidy it away after you have finished.
The Connection Centre
The Volunteer Room, Education Room and Training Kitchen/Classroom are mostly used by Farm staff Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, to deliver targeted services to adults and children in need. However, we do sometimes have opportunities for other groups to use this space during the day, and can accommodate groups on weekends or evenings.
Boiling Wells Site (Day-time bookings)
Boiling Wells is tranquil woodland valley rich in nature, with archaeological features from medieval times and home to an enchanting woodland and food forest booming with wildlife. The space is utilised for a range of activities that aren't easily accessed elsewhere within the city, often supporting vulnerable children and adults.
As such, it is of great educational and environmental importance and we ask that your event reflects this and that those present relate as stewards to the space.
