Tideswell Allotments Association would like to encourage anyone in the Parish interested in renting an allotment to get in touch. We manage the allotment site on Church Lane (the back road over to Litton). We have a few sites likely to come available over the next few months and only a very short waiting list. We are a friendly and informal association, with plenty of `absolute beginners` alongside some long-standing stalwarts (who are always useful for helpful advice). Rents for a full plot are £22 p.a. and for a half plot £11 p.a. – a bargain! If you would like further information or a look around the site and a chat with a current tenant, please get in touch with us via email mail@tideswellallotments.org.uk , or have a look at our web site – www.tideswellallotments.org.uk .
We would also like to confirm that the Tideswell Open Show will be on 9 September this year. This friendly village horticultural show is open to everyone (not just our members). So start planning your home grown vegetables and flowers now. There are also lots of opportunities for home bakers and for children to become involved. More information is available on our web site and nearer to the time – but keen photographers might like to know that the photo theme this year is “People working in the Peak District”.
