2023-01-29 13:30 - 16:00 | Trumpington Pavilion, Trumpington Pavilion, Paget Road, Trumpington, Cambridge, CB2 9JF, United Kingdom
This event is an opportunity to bring and swap self-saved seeds, exchange other surplus seed and plants, or simply take in exchange for a small donation of whatever you can afford. Please do not worry if you don’t have any spare seeds as there are always plenty to go round.
There are also refreshments and cakes, stalls including seed merchants, artisan producers and community groups, and of course many other gardeners planning their new growing season.
Please note the change of venue. This year (2023) we are at Trumpington Pavilion, Paget Road CB2 9JF. This is quite close to our previous venue. Road access from the High Street is via Anstey Way (opposite the Shell garage).
Entry is £2 for adults, children free.
Contact us. Display our poster.

Trumpington Seedy Sunday has run annually since 2006. Please see our calendar for details of the next event.

Hedge cutting 2022
2022-10-09 10:00 - 12:00 | Trading Hut, Trumpington Allotment Society, Foster Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom
We will prune the allotments boundary hedge.
All members are encouraged to help with collecting up the prunings, clearing litter and keeping the cycleway safe while we work.
Rather than burning the prunings, we will put them into the hedges along the cycleway and along the busway cutting. This will help thicken the hedge and the prunings will gradually decompose.
Hedgecutting work party
This work is scheduled after the bird nesting season.
