Vegetable World

The allotment is run by staff from the Dereham Sure Start Children's Centre, the local NHS Mental Health Team and Breckland Council, along with our volunteers. All staff and volunteers are CRB checked.

Access to our site, which is on the Southend Allotments near Moorgate, Dereham is: Monday 1.00pm - 3.00pm and Thursday 9.00am - 12.00pm Midday. These times are when staff are available and consequently outside these hours there is no access to the shed and equipment.

No pesticides are kept or used on the allotment. This helps everybody, so even if you have allergies, please come along! Unfortunately there are no toilet facilities at the allotments. The nearest is at the Breckland District resource Base, London Road (Baxter Row from the allotment) so it is a good idea to go to the toilet before going to the allotment.

Please make sure the appropriate footwear is worn. e.g. Wellington Boots, gardening shoes or trainers. There is clean water from a tap for washing (not suitable for drinking), however bottled water and wipes are also available.
We want everybody involved to enjoy using the allotment and enjoy eating the food they grow here. we are always on hand with advice and support.
