In January 2026 we gathered a group of enthusiatic singers to Wassail our community orchard and enjoyed mulled cider and parkin.
In December 2025, our second film night of 2025, "Wilding", was very well attended on a drizzly night - we had pretty much a full house and everyone said how much they enjoyed the film.
In October, the Dry Stone Walling Association came back to the allotment to rebuild another section of the boundary wall behind the orchard.
We had over 120 visitors across the weekend for our "Exhibition of Recent Photographs" and produced calendars from a pick of the entries.
To see the winners of the calendar and the people's vote, head over to our Calendar page.
In September 2025, Councillor Jenny Boak visited us to take a look at the community orchard planted with their support at the Parish Hall, and to help mount one of the tree variety name signs that have been made from recycled wood. We chatted about the process of planting the trees, building protective cages, and beating back invasive species such as Bracken, Holly and Himalayan Balsam, plus new opportunities to obtain native trees and hedging plants in the future.
To support the Cartmel Fell community, and undertake voluntary works that contribute to our community and/or benefit sustainable rural life.
We run community activities and social events alongside or in addition to the popular ones offered by Cartmel Fell Community Trust, and finding additional ways for local residents to socialise.
We undertake regular maintenance tasks around Hodge Hill Allotment and the grounds of Cartmel Fell Parish Hall for the whole community to enjoy, and to encourage nature to thrive.
Contact us to get more information, or to get involved, or just come for a chat! We usually post something on Facebook about our outdoor sessions.
