Millfield Allotments Association Open Day 2025:

The Millfield Allotments Association Open Day is a yearly opportunity for members and non-members alike to come and explore our allotments.

Each year we open up our gates to allow you to walk around our allotments and take in the beautiful plots tended to by our hard working tenants.

This year the Committee have decided that the summer Open Day will be combined with our annual Scarecrow Competition, which will also be judged on the day. Judges will review entries at 10am and there will be a prize for first place. There is no theme this year so you can make what you wish. All we ask is that you make them so that you can easily move from your plots to the top of the allotment site by the garden room for the town wide scarecrow competition on the 13th & 14th September. Town Council entry forms for this can be found in the toilet building, so please take one and fill it in if you wish to take part in this fun event. Please make sure your scarecrows clearly have your plot number on them for that weekend.

We’ll also have refreshments available, face painting, cakes and sweet treats, and the Faversham Society Archaelogical Research Group will hopefully also be showing off their finds from our site! We’re also lucky enough to be hosting a visit from Freddie the donkey this year too.

All monies raised go back to the upkeep of our allotments.

Whether you're looking for a fun family day out, a prospective tenant thinking of applying for a plot, or simply just interested in what goes on at Millfield Allotments, our Open Day is the perfect summer activity. Please come along if you can.
