For the last 25 years, the Barn has presented a rich and diverse cultural programme. Many artists have used our building, Wild Garden, Walled Garden and the connecting allotments as a site of experimentation and thinking for arts and ecology. Long, sustained relationships with renowned artists such as John Newling and Newton Harrison, Helen Smith and Maja Zeco, have helped our organisation to develop and lead the conversation around arts in rural environments in the 21st century. The Far Orchard project responds and connects to a rich history of art orchard projects. If you want to know and learn more about other projects of this kind, here are a few resources listed below:
