Come and explore everything on offer at the newly redeveloped community hub at Griffin Estate on our forthcoming open day on 10th May 10-4, Bowden Hill, Lacock SN15 2PP.

Have a look around our beautiful new multi-purpose event venue, the Gathering Space and adjoining home from home-feeling yet professionally-appointed coworking space - membership signups available on the day!

Meet our studio-based creative artist/makers; Tracy Ann of PopCycle who reloves homewares, Jo Taylor 2025 British Ceramics Biennial nominated ceramicist, Maria Danishvar, classically trained fine artist (and soprano!), our resident alchemist Kay of Mama Thea Organic & Natural Skin Care and Georgina Hall of Jolly Wild whose homewares carry her designs inspired by the great British countryside. Our Workshop-based Living Well through Music - home to Alphonso Archer's inspiring music tuition and therapy sessions and Seb's House Clearance - a treasure trove of preloved houswares and curios - will also look forward to welcoming you.

Chat to representatives of our two brilliant 'alternative' education projects, Griffin Club and Aspiration Hub where children shape their learning guided by experienced and enthusiastic mentors in a uniquely inspired setting, all very different from our mainstream system.

And if you love thoughtfully, organically-grown fresh produce, our Griffin Growers table will be full of goodies to leave a donation for and take home. GG is a community run vegetable garden tended by volunteers guided by the principles of Shumei Natural Agriculture - Mel and Phil will be around to show you around and answer any questions you might have.

Finally we are home to the long-established and much loved Wiltshire Scrap Store and Barty's Cafe. Come and fill your boots with the most eclectic and abundant range of craft supplies for miles around and enjoy a delicious coffee and panini while you're at it. We plan to offer freshly made pizzas from our new pizza oven too!

We really look forward to welcoming you!
