Field facilities include:

• Field shed for committee meetings and allotment social gatherings
• Machinery shed and machinery for use by plot holders (on payment of small donation to cover fuel and maintenance), ie petrol and hand mowers, rotavator, strimmer, shredder/chipper
• Sales shed which offers horticultural sundry items such as composts, bamboo canes, onion sets, fertilizers and more
• A trading table, selling (for field funds) a range of plants donated by plot holders
• Newsletter, issued four times a year and delivered to all plot holders
• Water taps and tanks, positioned approximately every six plots for easy access by all plot holders
• Car parking areas on site

In addition to allotment plots, we have an award winning community/wildlife area which includes two high (wheelchair height) raised beds for cultivation by the pupils from The Thomas Wolsey School in Ipswich and three low raised beds for cultivation by the pupils from the nearby Castle Hill Infants School. This area also includes an area of hazel, planted in 1996, which is now coppiced annually in rotation to provide pea sticks for plot holders, wild flower areas, a community orchard of mainly heritage varieties of apples, also plum and pear trees and further areas of hazel and native British trees planted as saplings in 2005. In the Spring of 2007 we planted a living Willow structure – the 'wigloo' (named for its 'igloo' shape!) Young people on community service orders assist us with the development and maintenance of our community areas and they also now have their own allotment plot.

We hold an open day every year, to raise money for improving and maintaining field facilities and to support a local charity and in 2007 we held a very successful BBQ and plan to make this an annual social event.
