Previous projects:
2018 Community Singing Group - Tuesdays 4-6pm
Co-hosted by Darla & Tasmin, and assisted by our Acorn Fund, this group is open to anyone to attend for singing and voice workshops.
The first block of spring workshops of the Bridgend Farmhouse Singing Group was a great success - singing a diverse mix of songs and enjoying the spring awakening with songs in the garden.
Tamsin and Darla ran 9 workshops and the participants performed some of the repertoire at the Power of Food Festival. The group is now taking a break for the summer.
They are looking for funding to continue the group and re-start in Autumn. Look out for updates in our newsletter.
(An enlarged singing Group ran in 2019)

Wormery Building
With Ruairi...
"The wormery is part of a wider proposal, a system that utilises the biomass of the
woodland and the food waste from the cafe and the local community. The
wormery system is the focal system through which unwanted community food waste and woodland are integrated.
The production of compost can contribute to the benefit of the site, food production and individuals as a material it is ‘black gold’"
