Eat, shop and explore our Country Centre
As well as providing work-related training for people with learning difficulties, there’s so much for visitors to see and do at the Aldingbourne Country Centre. Come and take a look!
Eat, drink and revive
We cook, bake and create in the Aldingbourne Country Centre Café where you’ll find an appetising menu using fresh, local produce. You can reserve a table for a Sunday roast or just drop in and revive with a coffee - barista style!
Retail therapy at the Country Centre
At the Country Centre you can enjoy some retail therapy and feel good that the money you spend is going to a wonderful cause. We make our own gifts and treats and work with local craftspeople to produce a range of beautiful products, from handmade greetings cards to ceramics, jewellery, toys, willow structures and carvings that will suit every taste.
Go organic with our fresh produce!
If you’d like to combine a love of fresh, locally produced food and shopping, why not take away a selection of organic produce that’s available, according to season, from the Country Centre Gift Shop.
For more information contact Jo Rea on 01243 542075 or by email to find out about our popular Organic Vegetable Box scheme too!
Explore our wildlife and nature trails and play area
We’re fortunate to be located in one of the most scenic areas in the country and our Woodland Walk is home to a wide range of wildlife and is filled with tranquil, meandering walkways and a new children's play area.
Open Farm and Rare Breeds
