GRUB CLUB is our after school food & cooking club for children on Monday. If you are a parent or carer you are welcome to come and be involved.
Each week we will look at how we can use a selection of nutritious local food in simple and affordable meals. We will grow some of the ingredients at our farm and we will have a chance to meet other farmers and producers when they visit our club to tell us more about what they grow, make or distribute.
We will have fun exploring a variety of cooking styles, including cooking outdoors over our own campfire. We may even dust off a guitar!
All ingredients will be included and we will either share and eat what we have cooked in the session, or children can take home their dishes to share with the rest of the family. We will let you know what to expect!
We are looking for sponsorship to support this activity as it is a FREE club. Please get in touch if you think you can help.
Love growing, cooking & sharing :)

FROM AUGUST 2022
FARM TO FORK is our 6 week growing & cooking course which runs weekly for adults and young people.
Each week a new microgreens or salad variety is introduced, and we will guide you how to grow, so you can gradually build your crop repertoire over the duration of the course.
Each week we will explore the benefits and background of each new variety, and you will have enough compost and seeds to grow your own. As part of our sessions, we will share some simple and tasty dish you can prepare at home using the crops you are growing, and together we can test recipe ideas and begin creating our own Farm to Fork cookbook. Once your crops are at the harvest stage, we will encourage everyone in the group to Crop Swap with each other so that everyone can take home a variety of different produce harvested that week.
You will be allocated a micro Splottment, a designated area in our vertical farm to call your own for the six-week period of the course, and you can grow as much as you need for yourself and your family. You can visit your crops at designated times in between the course sessions to water, talk to ( yes they like conversation!) or help with anything at the farm. If you can’t make it in, don't worry as our team of trainees and volunteers will take care of your Splottment until our next Farm to Fork session.
Cost: £60 for 6 weeks, including Splottment, seeds, compost and care.
Love the food you eat :)
NOURISH yourself, and our planet from the inside out

FROM SEPTEMBER 2022
NOURISH is our 6 week self-care course for adults designed to make you feel good from the inside out.
To begin looking after our planet we have to look after ourselves. After the last few years of isolation, confusion and fear we could all do with a bit of TLC.
Each week we focus on a different way to take care of ourselves be it through food, cooking and eating; finding new ways to get creative and express ourselves through art / craft / music / writing; discovering fun ways to introduce more movement and exercise; making time for R&R (Rest & Relaxation); and learning how to reconnect with ourselves and others around us.
Each Nourishment is introduced weekly so you have time during the sessions (and in between) to try them out and see what works for you.
At the beginning of the course you will be given a journal which will help you follow your progress, write down hints ‘n’ tips and recipes, and reflect on the Nourishments that are restoring your vitality, making you feel calm, helping you develop your confidence and know yourself a little better.
At the end of the course you will float away feeling relaxed, recharged and reconnected.
Cost: £60 for 6 weeks including all food and course materials.
Love our planet by loving yourself :)

LIVING LENS is a course for Adults who fancy learning some new skills playing with film, stop-motion animation, photography and sound.
Our LIVING LENS course is based in our Green Room at Railway Gardens.
We aim to use repurposed technology and media to allow us to experiment as we play with ideas and narratives; using creativity to help express ourselves and our connection with our environment as we move thorough different seasons.
We will use mediums and techniques such as; Super8, 16mm film, direct animation, stop motion animation and still image film-making to create individual or collaborative pieces to feel proud about..
Workshops will run weekly and will include supported studio time in our Green Room so you don't need to have any equipment at home to complete the course.
After each course we will host a micro-cinema screening with our group (refreshments will be included!), and every season we will host a community film evening, where we will screen and share a selection of films from the previous courses and invite our friends, family and community along to celebrate what we have created.
Cost to be confirmed.

SONGS & THE CITY play & create with lyrics & melodies
FROM OCTOBER 2022
SONGS & THE CITY is a 6 week creative writing course for Adults designed to find your inner songwriter, lyricist or melody maker.
Based in our Green Room at Railway Gardens, the course is all about playing to find inspiration. Sessions will include lots of activities and fun challenges to help get your creative juices flowing!
You don't have to be able to play an instrument or read music, its not about being good at anything technical.
However, if you want to include drums, guitars or even a set of spoons into your creations, then you are free to be as expressive as you wish.
This course can go whatever way the individual group members want it to. We could record some of our songs if you want to sing them, or we can create some lyric books or typography art-pieces to share your words as an artifact.
If you feel it, then its a song :)
Cost to be confirmed.
