Growing a Vision for the Future \u2013 join us at the launch of a year of celebrations, as we look to our next one hundred years.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the century that has passed since the estate was acquired in 1926 by the painter Harold Squire, a member of the London Group, Springhead\u2019s historic Mill and gardens have been a centre for the arts, music and traditional rural culture, and nucleus of the developing organic farming movement and the Soil Association. In the twenty-first century, Springhead continues to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to experience and value the rural environment, and to learn about the sustainable use of natural resources.<\/p>\n

To mark our centenary, Springhead is launching a year of celebrations, consultation and fundraising with a public open day on Sunday 27th September. We are delighted that many local musicians, choirs and dancers will be here and performing throughout the day, including a cappella close-harmony choir, Palida, junior folk and traditional dance side, <\/span>Steps in Time, and the White Horse Morris dancers, who celebrate their 75th anniversary this year. We do hope you can join us.<\/p>\n

Gardens open from 10.00 am \u2013 4.00 pm.<\/p>\n

Light refreshments will be available to purchase from our pop-up cafe in the Mill.<\/p>\n

Entry is free; donations towards the upkeep of the garden are welcome.<\/p>\n

Assisted wheelchair access.<\/p>\n

Dogs on leads are welcome.<\/p>\n
