Facility Hire
Facilities
At The Gathering Fields we have a range of facilities available to hire. We have a stone barn with kitchen and cosy log burning fire which makes a perfect communal space to run workshops and events or for you and your friends or family to eat drink and relax. You can also use the barn as a camping barn or you can use our converted bunk barn or simply pitch your tent in the surrounding paddock. We also have a craft area which you can hire as an additional space to run small craft activities such as pottery or wood crafts.
We have a large covered communal fire pit area and paddock area which can also be used as part of your workshop or event space. You are welcome to adventure on the designated areas of the farm and surrounding areas.
