Visiting Us

There are many ways to experience life at Redfield without actually living here. We realised some time ago that many people are curious for different reasons, some want to observe a different way of life, some want to get an idea of what it would be like to live in a community, some want to escape the rat race for a while, and some are just plain ol' nosey! Over the years we have developed ways of being here that cover just about all eventualities to cater for as many people as possible.

Come on a "Living in Communities" weekend:
We began these weekends back in 1994 to enable people to experience day to day life in an intentional community, to explore the issues and practicalities involved and to learn about the different ways communities are organised. For more details and full course outline please click here
As a WWOOFer:
(WWOOF = World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). We have wwoof weekends 8 times a year, when we aim to make a big impact on a practical outdoor job, in the organic garden, woodland, orchard, field or outbuildings. You must be a member of the WWOOF organisation, please click here to find out when our next organised weekend is, and for more information on wwoof, click here.
Come on a visitor day:
For people interested in joining Redfield Community or wanting to find out more about communal life. A tour of the 17 acre estate, communal lunch and an opportunity to talk with community members is included, cost £10. Arrive between 10am and 11am, booking and payment is required in advance.
Come on a maintenance week:
Join us in our efforts to maintain our rambling Victorian mansion and grounds. Experience communal life, have fun and help get some much needed jobs done.

If you would like to know more about any of the above please contact us by email stating which way you prefer to visit, we will then send you more details when we know on what basis you would like to stay.
