Happy New Year everyone! We hope you’re all keeping well. We have some important information regarding the gardens and café, so please read on!

With Tier 3 restrictions now in place for our area, and the safety of our staff, Employ My Ability
students, and visitors being paramount, we have taken the decision to keep the gardens CLOSED for now. Originally we were due to reopen tomorrow, but for now our gates will remain closed to the public so staff can continue essential garden work, and the space can be utilised by the students where needed.

The Dovecote Café is also going to remain closed for now too, as required by Tier 3 rules.

It’s a difficult road head, but we know with the continued effort of our wider community, we’ll be able to welcome you through the gates once again soon.

Please follow updates here and on our social media, as the situation can always change. 2021 will get better in time, and we look forward to seeing you again just as soon as we can.

In the meantime, we’ll be sharing some other news about things to come once we do reopen, and we will need you feedback on this too! Stay tuned.
