Allotments

We manage 17 allotment sites in Chester, Ellesmere Port and Willaston. A full list of sites can be found below. If the allotment site you are interested in is not listed, it may be self-managed by an Allotment Association or managed by the local Town or Parish Council.

Allotment charges

Allotment bills are issued annually in October and cover the period of April - March.

Applying for an allotment

All plots are currently taken and there is a waiting list for new tenants.

Before applying, it is important to think about how you would realistically fit an allotment into your routine. Allotments need regular visits. It is recommended to visit at least twice a week to keep on top of the weeding and in hot weather, you might need to water your crops every day. We recommend that a half plot in good condition will require at least eight hours per week to maintain and could require more depending on what you grow.

Please note we only offer half plots to new tenants which are approximately 128 square metres.
