Welcome to Hobbs Allotments & Gardening Society
Site Information
We currently have 95 plots, which each plot measuring 2.5 or 5 rod. When plots become available, these are only for parishioners local to the site.
We hold regular social events on site, with any profits raised donated to our chosen local charity. Our charity for 2026 is
My Sisters House Womens Centre. www.mysistershouse.info
We have a shop open during the spring, summer and autumn seasons, selling tools, hose pipes, pots, fixings etc.
Wood chip and compost is available to purchase cheaply by the wheel barrow load.
We have mains water supply close to most plots for hosepipe connections. When this is turned off during the winter, we have water butts situated at the main shed and shop.
