Allotments

A great way to keep fit, look after your mental well-being, reconnect with nature, and produce your own fruit and veg!

Our allotments

We manage approximately 190 plots across eight sites in the Parish.

Anyone who lives within the Parish can rent a plot from us (proof of address required).

Cost

The current annual cost is between £20 – £32 depending on the size of the plot.

Please note: The rents we charge for our allotments will be changing from December 2026.

Inspections

These take place once a month on all allotment sites.

This is to ensure that all plots are in good condition and are being appropriately worked.

Waiting list

Due to their popularity, there is a long waiting list for our allotment plots.

When a plot becomes available, we will split it in two where we can to help reduce the waiting times.

Below is the current waiting list numbers (1st choice) for each site:
