Event Series Event Series (See All)

Bridgend Farmhouse dates back to the very early 19th century and was a working farm up until the 1970’s, eventually falling derelict with the last farmers leaving in 2000.

The exhibition shares the history of how the building and the lands were transformed over a period of years through the commitment and determination of local volunteers. Our exhibition is a celebration of the power of communal action and the profound impact it has on shaping our shared spaces.

During these two weeks we will also have the following open sessions running in case you would like to join in:

  • Volunteer Activity Days on Wednesday and Sunday 11-3pm
  • Community Gardening Days Tuesdays and Fridays 10-3pm
  • Community Meals every Wednesday at 5-6pm
  • Woodcraft Wednesdays from 5.30-8.30pm
  • Cafe will be open Wednesday to Sunday 11am to 4pm

Exhibition open times:

11am – 4pm, 13th – 29th October 2023 (excluding Mon and Tues) in our upstairs Gallery Room APART FROM Fridays 9-2; Monday 23rd 9-1, Thursday 26th 11:30-4:30. Other times may be manageable by appointment.
