Stowmarket Town Council owns two allotment sites within the town. The Hospital Fields site is located on Bury Road beside the A14 opposite the entrance to Chilton Way. The Cemetery Fields site is located beside the New Cemetery in Violet Hill Road.
The Stowmarket Allotment Growers Association (SAGA), no longer in action, erected a poly-tunnel which is located on the Hospital Fields site. The poly-tunnel, which was paid for by a grant from the Town Council, is available for use by all allotment holders at the Hospital Fields site and enables them to grow produce throughout the year.
The allotments are extremely popular and there is a waiting list for people wishing to have an allotment. If you would like to apply to be put on the waiting list, please complete and return the Allotment Application Form v3
For more information about allotments please contact Liz Hughes, Public Services Officer, on 01449 612060 or lizh@stowmarket.org.
We need allotment land – can you help?
The Town Council has a number of people on the waiting list for an allotment and we are currently looking for additional allotment land. This can include residents with large gardens that they are willing to rent out to gardeners to cultivate – something that we have already successfully facilitated with one property owner in the town.
If you have land that you’d be willing to make available for allotments, please contact the Town Council on 01449 612060 or info@stowmarket.org
