About Penrith Allotment Association

Penrith Allotment Association manages and maintains four fantastic allotment sites in the beautiful town of Penrith.

We consist of a team of volunteer members and officers who do this on behalf of Penrith Town Council, for the benefit of the local residents of Penrith.

Allotments are a fantastic and wonderful way to get out into the fresh air, improve your mental wellbeing and get some physical exercise. But, most importantly of all, give you the pleasure of providing yourself and your loved ones with the fruits (& Veg!) of your labour.

We believe our allotment sites have a real community spirit, where neighbours help each other out, share their ideas, create lasting friendships and (hopefully) share the abundance of their crops!

So, if you’ve ever considered getting an allotment but never made that next step, then what are you waiting for?! Press the button and start your Allotment Adventure today…
