Find a list of allotment sites and their waiting times.
Allotments waiting list

Currently all of our allotment sites have waiting lists.

Projected wait times and site information

Our current projected waiting times are based on how long the person at the top of each list has been waiting. These timings are only a guide, as they can change depending on how many people apply for each allotment site and how often plots become available.

We advise you to join the waiting list for allotments close to where you live. This is so that when you do get a plot, you can visit it easily and get maximum use out of it.
