What to expect at Lower Shaw Farm
|
The organisers at Lower Shaw Farm aim to provide events of good quality. They like to combine work and play, the making of discoveries and the making of friends. They encourage people and planet-friendly ideas, wholesome food, good talk, or music-making and storytelling round the fire in the yard, by the woodstove, or in the Pleasure Garden. They reckon that today’s stranger is tomorrow’s friend and that life is for learning.
Once home to seventy black and white cows, the farm is now a 3-acre oasis in an area of suburban development. Its outbuildings have been converted to meeting rooms, dormitories, and workshops.
With its large vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, its shrubs and trees, its puddles and ponds, hens and ducks, black and white sheep, Kune-Kune pig, and unspoilt areas for play and exploration, the farm has developed an atmosphere and character of its own. It is outwardly ramshackle and inwardly ordered. It’s sort of wild, welcoming, and very nice!
Accommodation is in chalets, caravans, and farmhouse rooms, and includes single (limited - so book early if this is required), double, and shared bedrooms. Blankets and pillows are provided. Please bring your own sleeping bag or sheet and pillowcase; and state your preferred sleeping requirements. Full board is provided and we can cater for special diets. Facilities are basic but homely and generally user-friendly for all people. The weekend prices include all meals, accommodation and tuition.
