We’ve tackled monster slugs and mutant chooks and learned 100 ways to cook a courgette. While there will be plenty happening over the […]

Daniel is big fan of ‘Strictly’, which is why he wants […]
One of the things the DOE Challenge Fund helped to fund was a container at PeasPark. It is a great asset;, tools can be stored and we can hide from the rain, when we want to. It has also allowed us to install a secure water supply (although we didn’t need it that much this […]

TG4- film about PEAS PARK This short, 4.11min documentation was filmed by TG4, the Irish language television channel in September 2014.

First the billboard sign was flattened, then the green house and tepee were set on fire. We expected acts of vandalism from […]
