Group volunteering sessions

We welcome University societies, office away-days and other community groups coming to help us out! Gloves, tools and training are provided. We do have hand wash stations but we have no mains water or electricity on the field so it is very important that you bring your own food and drinks. Please check our availability on the calendar below before getting in touch with us.

Small groups

If your group is around 6 people or fewer you can simply join a drop-in session on a Wednesday or Saturday from 2pm to 4.00pm – but please ask about availabilty on your preferred date as drop-in sessions can get busy. 

Full-day sessions

If your group is larger than about 6 people – or you would prefer a full day volunteering session between 10am to 4pm we can arrange a special group session for you on a Tuesday or a Friday. Max group size is around 20 people.

What to bring

  • Your own drinks and snacks
  • Sturdy shoes or boots
  • Old clothes than can get dirty
  • Raincoat or suncream depending on weather
