Social gatherings

A perfect central meeting place in Shropshire. Our Foggage and Yoghourt rooms, can be hired for an array of celebrations, day or evening. From birthdays to retirement parties, baby showers, wakes and Christmas celebrations, our connected rooms are fully accessible via a platform lift and recommended for 10-35 guests (please speak to us if you are looking for a room at the upper end of our capacity as only some room layouts are possible).

We can provide all catering and are even fully licenced to serve alcohol. You are also welcome to bring your own entertainment. As policy we provide all catering for your occasion and therefore do not allow self-catered events in these spaces (apart from specific celebration cakes).


For larger functions of 25-65 guests or for events that require a little more space, please check out our Straw Lodge. You could also combine the Straw Lodge with an outdoor marquee (arranged by yourselves) to extend numbers even further.

Having an event in our house of straw, is not just easy on your conscience, but its beauty and proximity to baby piglets is hard to rival!

Business meetings

Our adjoining meeting rooms (Foggage and Yoghourt) can be used separately or combined.

Fordhall Organic Farm is an eco-friendly choice and is great for demonstrating your company's CSR. Plus, we are easy to find from the M6, A41 and A53.

There is no need to bring equipment with you - we have flipcharts, stationery, projector and screen available to hire, plus free super-fast fibre broadband. Site tours, welcome talks and charity rates available upon request.

This room works well for up to 20 people for a formal meeting. Why not enquire about a team building session!



Interest group visits and farm tours

We can cater for your local group whether it is a U3A, WI, Rotary, natural history, organic gardeners, students or international visitors. We even have space for a coach!

We offer guided walks around Fordhall which cover the farm's organic history, its journey into community ownership, eco building construction, and how we work collaboratively onsite today with nature, tenant farmer and community.

A group tour (for groups of 10-30) will generally take about 1.75-2 hours. An alternative 10 minute intro or a full 30-40min talk can be provided in a room with lunch and refreshments for larger numbers.

Things to do during your stay

Explore

You will be left to your own devices during your stay, and are free to explore our picturesque organic farm. We have farm trails weaving around the farm, which will take you around our pastures, woodland and along the river. Why not say hello to some of our friendly animals as you explore?

Our organic Farm Shop is a short walk away, where you can purchase delicious local produce to prepare in the yurts. We can also provide you with a hamper of your favourite goodies to make your stay stress- and decision-free – just let us know when you book.

Our yurts are designed to help you reconnect with nature, your loved ones and yourself. They are well and truly off-grid. For this reason we have no Wi-Fi facilities at the yurts. There are electricity sockets available for use at the farm in the main building, but with the Shropshire Hills as your playground, this is the perfect place to switch off!

The nature of our yurts and surroundings lends itself perfectly to families that home educate; there are so many new experiences you can enjoy with your children whilst they learn about the natural world first hand.
