Our Site

Positioned in the heart of the South Downs National Park, The Sustainability Centre offers an idyllic location for learning. The Centre is spread across 55 acres of woodland and natural chalk downland. Within the site we have a number of training spaces to suit the range of courses we offer. These include: an indoor classroom, a woodland classroom with fireplace, a woodwork workshop and two peaceful forest teaching spaces. The site also has numerous examples of sustainable practices, from yurts to willow coppicing, wildlife garden to solar energy.
