An educational learning space created to bring the whole community together through Patchwork Farm. Let’s connect and explore our world together! After years of planning, fundraising and hard work, we are delighted to share that our Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Gloucester, officially opened ‘The Bradbury Den’ Wednesday, 3rd June 2026.The Bradbury Den is a sustainable, low-carbon building constructed using locally sourced materials. As part of our Patchwork Farm, it provides an innovative indoor/outdoor environment - allowing it to be used in all weather, that will enhance the enriching and stimulating experiences of the children and young people we support, while creating new opportunities to engage with the wider community including school and community groups, who will learn about the environment and biodiversity and how a farm is run with teamwork and cooperation.With the generous support of Sightsavers, the building is complemented by a beautiful award-winning sensory garden, which featured at this year's Chelsea Flower Show.This new facility is open entirely through the generosity or our amazing supporters. We are in gratitude to the local trusts, businesses, schools, community groups, and individual donors who turned this vision into reality. We extend our special gratitude to The Bradbury Foundation, the Daniell Trust, and the Vistry Group for their vital contributions. Even though the weather didn't play along, celebrating this milestone with so many friends and partners was wonderful regardless of the conditions.“We want The Bradbury Den to be a special place for everyone who visits and offer a unique opportunity for each young person to get the most out of the farm environment. It’s a place where children can grow confidence, develop skills and have new experiences, available to a wide community of learners from local schools and community groups and their families.”Will Folkes, Director of Specialist Services and Income. We cannot wait to watch The Bradbury Den grow into a vibrant hub for the local area.
