For your course the Bunkhouse can be hired with the Mushroom Shed. The Mushroom Shed is a converted large timber framed building in the heart of the farm. It is super insulated, heated off a bio mass boiler and has a living roof.

The Mushroom Shed is an ideal space for teaching, when holding residential courses and retreats here at the farm. The space is adaptable and can be set up to suit your course e.g. with chairs and a smart screen, or a more informal space with bean bags. See below for details.
