Our Activities.
Calum at the Art Class, learning to mix colours
Make it.
We usually hold Art and Craft sessions which covers a wide range of things such as actual Art classes, making Christmas decorations and cards, making wicker into items and garden supports, ceramics and photography. We also have cookery lessons on a regular basis and eat together days. Make music by learning guitar. The model guys make beutiful models and have constructed the wonderful model railway below. There’s always something to do.

Build it.
There is a woodcraft room where you can learn from others or share your skills. It all begins with an idea. The world is your oyster. The guys have made all sorts in the past, from raised beds , planters benches to chairs, tables, decorative logs, wooden christmas trees and wooden planters, to delicate wooden pens.

Grow it.
There are wooden raised beds and a polytunnel for growing vegetables and herbs, and a lovely outdoor garden with flower beds and planters. There’s a grassy area to have a pleasant sit outdoors on a sunny day and a covered outdoor shelter for rainy days. We also have an allotment at the South Western Allotments Association for extra growing space. We donate a lot of our produce to “Dig In” Community Greengrocers and Moogety food poverty projects.
