Our Space at The Vale
Try something different. Make friends. Feel good outdoors.
Our Space is a relaxed, friendly Saturday morning garden session where we come together to care for and grow The Vale’s wild garden. It is a welcoming space to connect with nature, learn practical skills and be part of something positive in your local community.
Across the winter and spring programme we use simple permaculture techniques to make the garden more eco friendly and full of life, creating habitats for Mossley’s birds, bees and everything in between.
Led by our facilitator Jayne, you will be hands on each week. Planting, growing, building and making small nature projects such as a pond in a pot, a bee waterfall and other mini habitats. Every session is a little different, and you can join in as much or as little as you like.

No experience needed. Stay for the whole session or just drop in for a bit.

These open sessions are designed to support creative practice in all its forms. Whether you are a sewer looking for access to a machine, a sculptor needing space to spread out, a musician in search of a quiet room to rehearse, or a henna artist wanting somewhere comfortable to practise and develop your work, you are very welcome here.
The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, offering time and space to focus, experiment and make progress on your work. You can work independently, or alongside other creatives, sharing energy, ideas and inspiration in a welcoming environment.
If you would like to use the space, simply get in touch at hello@the-vale.co.uk to let us know what you need the studio for. This helps us make sure the right space, equipment and setup are ready for you when you arrive.
Drop in, settle in, and make The Vale your creative home for the afternoon.
