The Fold at New House Farm, Bransford, midway between Malvern and Worcester on the A4103 Hereford Road, is a refurbished barn and other converted farm buildings. The refurbishment demonstrates sustainable building techniques and materials in action.
The Fold is run as a not for profit community enterprise mixing elements of inspiration, creativity and healing to provide a space away from the commercial norm where members of the public can take time to become who they truly are. If you would you like to get involved, click here.
At the heart of The Fold is The ecoCafé, a place to meet in a welcoming atmosphere and eat quality food which you can see prepared in an open-style theatre kitchen. The food is local, seasonal, fairtrade and organic wherever possible. In the café are quiet corners to meet with friends and more communal spaces where you may find yourself unexpectedly involved in a conversation about how to use less electricity or the best way to travel without costing the earth. There are also books, products and information supporting sustainable living.
You may also visit WholeHealth, where you can choose to take a positive step towards being healthier and happier in your every day life. WholeHealth is a centre of excellence for complementary therapies, and would like to work alongside the NHS. We offer a range of beneficial treatments, and also host a series of events and courses throughout the year, which help us to look after ourselves and to feel good about our lives.
We have a range of designers and makers working, demonstrating, exhibiting and selling their creations from studio workshops. Some supplement their own work with other items, which are usually sourced locally but may include fairtrade items from further afield.
