Haltwhistle Growing Together Community Allotment 

Open Gardening sessions

Gardening sessions run on Thursday mornings from 10am - 12pm at the Community Allotment at Hillside (NE49 9AU, bungalow at the bottom of the school drive). From 12pm - 1pm you’re welcome to join us for a 'bring your own lunch' which will be inside, or outside if it is sunny. Open to all and no booking or gardening skills are required.

Monthly Lunchtime Talks

Our lunchtime talks on a variety of ecological topics generally take place in Haltwhistle at either the Community Hub (library building) or Hillside and always include a free lunch of homemade soup and bread provided by Sustainable Haltwhistle. Talks are free and everyone is welcome. The talks programme is possible due to the support of Northumberland National Park, the Karbon Community Fund for Haltwhistle and the Haltwhistle Partnership.

Talks take place between noon and 2pm on the following Fridays:  27th October, 24th November, 19th January 2024, 16th February and 15th March. Details of upcoming talks will appear here.

If you would like to receive the Haltwhistle Growing Together monthly newsletter please sign up here.

The Haltwhistle Growing Together project is funded by Karbon Homes Community Fund for Haltwhistle and the Haltwhistle Partnership with additional funding for the lunchtime talks from Northumberland National Park.
