Gardening Sessions and Activities
We run three open gardening sessions each week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The sessions start at 9.30am and finish around 12.30pm. Refreshments are provided.
We are LGBTQ+ friendly!
Unfortunately, the site is not currently very accessible for wheelchair users, but we are in the midst of a rejuvenation project to make one of our plots much more accessible. Please get in contact for more information.
Veterans Outdoors -
Tuesdays 1000 - 1300
Many veterans charities quickly learn that veterans often need to be in the company of other veterans. This is normally due to the fact that people who haven’t served in the Armed Forces can’t relate to their experiences. Spending time with other veterans generally helps them talk through traumatic experiences. This is encouraged at ESCAPE, veterans work with each other on projects and find themselves spending time with each other. Another goal of Escape Community Allotment is to help reduce loneliness and social isolation faced by veterans. Staff and veterans share meals together - cooking with the vegetables and herbs that are grown in the garden.
Women Only
Wednesday 0930-1230
We hope that by providing a women only environment, more people will feel comfortable getting involved with the project. It will give the women of the local community the opportunity to get gentle exercise, fresh air, build important social bonds and learn new skills.
All women are welcome, no matter your level of gardening experience, or how regularly you are able to join us. We try to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible, especially for those who otherwise struggle with issues such as social exclusion, mental health, learning difficulties and physical limitations.
