Pop-Up Shop – Good Friday Success

We had a very successful day at the H & P Pop-Up shop on the Launchpad plots on Good Friday. We took £594 and served 30 customers with about 15 new members, there were some great bargains to be had, sorry if you missed it.

Let’s hope for a bigger turn-out at our next event. Many thanks to Huntley & Palmer Allotment Association for bringing their shop to our Allotment Site and to Sylwester and his van for moving all the produce back and forth.

You can still join the shop – its only £1.50 per year to become a member – visit and purchase items from their ‘Shop’, full details can be found here.

Date for your Calendar – Friday 15th April 2022 – Read on!

Our Allotments Association have had a long lasting relationship with the Huntley & Palmers Allotments Association based at the Culver Lane Allotments site and tenants have been able to purchase many of their on-site shop products using their ‘Trading Shed’ low-cost membership together with the annual H & P Price Lists, published for your convenience in our Special Bulletins.

The Trading Shed

Now, in a first for our Association and in a joint venture, we are going to stage a Pop-Up shop on the Reading Road site. Huntley & Palmers ‘Trading Shed’ has offered to bring many of their shop products to our site for you to purchase and they will also be able to take orders for anything that they don’t have with them on the day.

The date for your calendar is Friday 15th April 2022 from 10am till 12.30pm. The Pop-Up shop will be located outside the Launchpad poly-tunnel at the bottom of Jersey Knoll (Rows J-K).

We expect this to be the first of a number of events we are looking to stage this year so please come along and support this innovative event.
