Welcome
The Keyworth Charity Allotments site on the corner of Selby Lane and Willow Brook has been in place since the 1798 Enclosure Act. Created as the Poor's Land to allow those without their own land to grow enough food to feed a family for a year, the plots are still being tended in much the same way as they have been over the last 220 years.
The people of Keyworth (although nowadays, not just the poor) have been cultivating their own fruit, vegetables and flowers throughout that time and the site is still a vibrant community space dedicated to fostering a love for growing your own fresh produce.
We have three sizes of plot for individuals to tend and harvest which are available for a rent of less than £20 a year.
At a time when keeping fit and active, eating healthily, and being outdoors have been shown to improve physical and mental health, why not come and join us in our mission to promote the good life of growing your own.

This is the layout of the plots in January 2025. Some plots are split in half for plot holders who do not want a full plot

Around the edge of the plots there are spaces for wildlife
