Trips & Retreats

With our day trips and weekend retreats we aim to create positive memories and experiences; and create occasions for family & friends to spend meaningful time together.

Day Trips

We organise six Community Farm Trips in Chew Magna a year!

We tour the beautiful surroundings of the farm, sow seeds into the soil, and harvest organic vegetables we then cook for lunch and feast on!

We also organise Bristol boat tours in the summer hosted by Bristol Ferry Boats.

Weekend Retreats

Occasionally, we organise weekend retreats in the Cotswolds or in Devon, where our members have the opportunity to rest in the countryside, meet new friends, and take part in relaxing activities such as clay workshops, wellbeing sessions, surfing, swimming, and yoga.
