Welcome to our website
Here you can find information about the Shepherds Hill Allotments site. In the About Us section there is a brief description of the site and how it is managed. In the News section we post all newsletters, which are also emailed to tenants, usually on a monthly basis. If you want to look back at the archives for a particular news item, you can do it here. The Forum section is for discussions between tenants, and includes a ‘give and take’ topic where you can post information about items you’d like to give away or find things you are looking for. On the Diary page we list the opening times and dates for the Trading Shed and any upcoming site and local events. The Resources section has a wealth of important information, including details of the Site Committee, the Tenancy Agreement, site handbook and other guidance. Under the Trading Shed section you will find a comprehensive price list of all items stocked in the shed and details of opening times.
If you have any feedback on any aspect of this website, please get in touch at info@shepherdshillallotments.co.uk

Waiting List
Demand for plots at Shepherds Hill far exceeds supply. We have 225 plots and in previous years we have been able to allocate approximately 15 per year to new tenants. This number is unlikely to change substantially over the next few years. Currently there are around 90 people on the waiting list and it has been closed for most of the year. We will open the waiting list briefly at the beginning of 2027 to accept a similar number of people as plots we let in the previous years. The waiting list will open on Sunday 3rd January 2027 at 12.00 noon – if you are interested in joining the waiting list please write into info@shepherdshillallotments.co.uk on or after that date. Please note that emails received before that date and time will not be considered.
