Afterall, creating a sustainable future requires connected communities. And what better way to bring everyone together than over a drink?

Tour of North Aston Organics

North Aston Organics was started by Mark and Ginny Stay. After numerous false starts (chartered surveying, the army, pharmaceutical packing, and selling juggling balls on Eastbourne pier), Mark thought he would turn his allotmenteering hobby into a job. Five years later, after working with various horticulture projects, we were ready to start, but where? Well, to cut a long story short, we found some land to rent with a supportive landowner and got stuck in.
Like most people starting a business, we were blindly optimistic, but we had ‘done the course’ and gained some experience. The fact that we had a two-year-old in tow and another baby on the way meant failure was not an option. Also, they say career paths often skip a generation, so we were hoping a bit of green fingered-ness would be inherited from Ginny’s Kentish fruit growing grandparents and Mark’s Isle of Wight gardener grandfather.
​And suddenly more than 25 years have passed and here we are, still growing as wide a range of vegetables as possible, from Aubergines to Zucchini (sorry, courgettes, but what else begins with ‘z’?). And now we have a great team working alongside us – seven people both full- and part-time, who share the same drive to grow delicious, healthy vegetables, and sell them locally.

Mikron Theatre - Hush Hush! - A Bletchley Story
2025-06-20 07:00 - 21:00 UTC
Mikron invites you to enter a world of secrets, songs and cyphers as we get to know the heroes of Hut 3.
In a non-descript mansion house, in a non-descript town, a group of extra-ordinary men and women worked to provide intelligence that would help to win the war.
But shhhhhh, you’d better keep it under your hat, because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, Bletchley Park doesn’t exist
Peggy Valentine arrives at Bletchley in 1940, 18 years old, headstrong and gifted. Finding herself in a world of boffins, soldiers and debutantes, Peggy has to shoulder the burden of high pressure war work whilst navigating a new world of feuds, friendships and growing up in a frame of absolute secrecy.
But what of the world beyond Bletchley? As the war rages on in Europe, the stakes are raised for Peggy and her friends as they work to protect their loved ones fighting abroad.
