Our new Growing Local Southside Farm project is part of The Southside Project, a joint initiative between ourselves and our neighbours Belmont Wanderers FC.
The Southside Project will transform 35 acres of green space into a vibrant community destination with sports pitches, a club house, market gardens, indoor teaching space and a cookery studio plus activities for all ages.
As part of the project Belmont Wanderers start construction of their new 3G all weather playing pitch and clubhouse in early 2025. We will be constructing our packing & store shed later in 2025 and our cook studio building in 2026 (the drawing is our cook studio).
This extremely exciting collaboration between our two organisations will offer a unique community venture bringing together the powers of sport, good food and education. We have each appointed local architectural firm Arbor to encapsulate our sustainable vision.
The Southside is one of 15 trailblazing projects set to transform our city of Hereford by 2026. Together, the 15 projects will be opening up fantastic new opportunities for all ages across culture, sport, skills, growing, greener travel and the riverside.
