About Grange Barn

Opening: 2026

Occupying the expansive grounds of Grange House is Grange Barn - a beautiful blend of a stable block, an orangery and three acres of green space.

This space focuses on outdoor-based wellbeing, education and community activity to help increase confidence, skills and instil a farm-to-fork ethos that is so integral to this rural community. The former stable blocks have been sympathetically transformed into flexible, multi-use spaces for training, community groups and skills development while the vast outdoor space provides a wealth of education, learning and wellbeing opportunities for people, including a wellbeing space with nature-based activities.

Our vision is for Grange Barn to be uniquely designed, delivered and maintained by the whole community.

Across this site we are able to offer access to wellbeing provision, courses, vocational learning and work experience with a focus on horticulture through Clip. In addition, through Skills Centre Plus – our education service for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities - we can offer access to opportunities for learning differently.

 

Key features:

• A beautifully restored historic site combining stable block, orangery and green space to create a flexible, multi-use community asset.
• Light, bright indoor learning and meeting spaces suitable for small groups, community use, skills development and wellbeing activities.
• A developing nature-based activity space offering opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, learn new skills and build confidence.
• Outdoor learning activities across horticulture, growing, small animal care, food production and wellbeing.
• Space for local partners and groups to hire, use or collaborate on projects.
• Produce grown onsite will be shared with Grange Cafe or sold locally, providing practical skills in growing, preparing and selling produce.
