About Tuppenny Barn
An organic smallholding in Southbourne, with an outdoor classroom and eco barn to teach children about healthy eating, sustainability and the environment. Also available for private hire.
Tuppenny Barn Description
Tuppenny Barn, a registered charity, is an organic smallholding in Southbourne, West Sussex. Our mission is to provide learning experiences for children and adults to promote organic growing, healthy cooking and eating, and sustainable horticultural practices. We grow high quality organic produce, sold from our shop on Thursday and Friday and via a veg bag scheme. We have a year round programme of activities, including workshops, events, yoga classes, music concerts and more. These are held outside or in our circular straw-bale built eco-centre. Tuppenny Barn is available for private hire and is also a venue for Wedding Receptions.

what a fantastic place. Inspirational, exciting, educational not to mention the fantastic produce. So much to see and do...
Wow, what a fabulous place and a great venue for the Junior Leaders 3 reunion with wonderful food and lovely company. X x
This is a very good venue - large enough for a reasonable audience and small enough to feel intimate.
The people running the venue are very approachable & friendly. Whilst there is an ethos behind everything, they don't feel the need to proselytize.
I would be very happy to attend other events at Tuppenny Barn, and would have no hesitation in recommending.
All combined to make the evening very enjoyable.
This is a superb place, if you haven’t been. You are missing a great place. The events are great, people really friendly. Food is homemade and really good. Maggie has worked so hard and is truly inspirational. I think you can now get married there too!
Such a lovely venue! Amazing gardens... great day out
Many thanks for a fantastic "How does your garden grow?" Activity Day for my boys. They had a fantastic time and came home very proud of their scarecrows and the plants they had ready to grow in our garden.
This is the second holiday event the boys have been to & we will be booking them on to more. Fantastic value for money, great fun and a brilliant way of getting children more involved outside. Thank you!
It's just an amazing place. The barn and organic vegetable plots .. inspiring and motivating.
I went to the first Skin Deep at Tuppenny Barn today. It was hosted by Christine and there were 10 of us. It was a really informative 2 hours where we made a variety of potions using a variety of wonderfully aromatic essential oils. Lavender lip balm, uplifting foot spray, anti perspirant and body scrub. I highly recommend this workshop and wish there was a longer one .
I visited today for the event - what a great place and vision will certainly return
I recently booked Tuppenny Barn to hold our son's Naming Ceremony and it couldn't have been more perfect. We had a lovely ceremony conducted by a Celebrant and then did our own catering with the extremely well equipped kitchen. It quickly transformed from everyone being seated, to changing the layout and making tables for people to have afternoon tea. We did the catering ourselves with the help of family and friends. The kitchen has a huge array of crockery, urns, jugs, cafetières etc (which we could use) and we were given free roam to make the barn our own for the day. The barn is stunning and it really felt like it was ours for the day so that we could celebrate with our friends and family. It is perfect for Naming Ceremonies and would make a beautiful barn for a wedding reception and service. Can highly recommend Tuppenny Barn-beautiful barn and grounds. Thank you to Emma for all of her support in the lead up to our booking.
I came for an excellent creative writing course but I'm a regular visitor as well. Love the place.
Had a wonderful time today at Tuppenny Barn with a yoga taster session, was good to understand the history of it and also the variations and what they involve (and I left you some cookery books for your event as well) Thank you Trevor and Gail
Great local veg bag scheme! Fantastic educational centre, and beautiful venue. Maggie and her team have created something very special for our Comunity.
