About our Allotments

The allotment site is in Black Lane, Leamington Spa.

Tenants who rent a plot on the site use their allotment for a wide range of purposes. Most grow their own fruit, vegetables and flowers, a restricted number of tenants keep poultry or have a bit of leisure space just right for a deck chair and a barbecue. A few plot holders have a shed - somewhere to brew a cup of tea.

We have about 150 full-size plots, with some of these divided into half or even quarter plots. Each full size plot is roughly 30 metres by 9 metres including paths. Eleven small plots each with an area of around 25square metres are also available.

Plot holders pay an annual rental fee for their plot plus a yearly subscription to become a member of the allotments association. The rental year runs from 1st October to 31st of the following September. The current annual fees are:

• £40 for a full size plot (£5 discount for early payment before the end of October)

• Initial membership £40, thereafter £10 annual membership (£2 discount for over 60s)

• 3/4, 1/2 & 1/4 plots are charged on a pro rata basis

There have been allotment plots on this site since 1910; some of the original buildings put up by those early plot holders are still in use. Over the years the association has made many improvements
