Our activities and courses range from weekly yoga classes and health walks, to one-day workshops, from weekend breaks to weeklong events. There are things for children, grownups, and anyone in between.
We like to do all things well, and aim to provide events of good quality. We like to work and play, make discoveries and make friends, be serious and also frolic. We like wholesome food and enjoy good talk, or music-making and storytelling round the fire in the yard, by the woodstove, or in the Circle Garden. We reckon that today’s stranger is tomorrow’s friend and that life is for learning at Lower Shaw Farm!
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 pigs, 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, double, and shared bedrooms.
Full board is provided and we can cater for special diets.
Facilities are basic but homely and generally user-friendly for all people.
