    Stopped into this place on the way back from visiting friends and it was such a gorgeous site. We popped to the farm shop primarily to see what was on offer. There is a huge selection of products from local businesses from beer to relishes. There were lots of organic food with lots also catered to food intolerances too. Overall a really lovely shop. The only down fall is I would have liked to have seen more fresh goods on sale. On site there was a lovely cafe, a therapy centre and art studios. I noticed on the way out they had a few nature trails too which I will be back to wander around next time. The site had a large carpark to the rear which was a bonus. All in all worth a visit and will be back to explore the trails.

    Visited The Fold for weekend of training. The venue holds many arts and crafts shops, café, barn for events, on-site camping with eco toilets and showers all surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. River walks and fishing spots all add to the enchantment of the pristine keeping of the grounds. Outstanding display of plant varieties also lend themselves to a truly beautiful location, well managed and environmentally conscientious.

    An amazing venue for camping. Really nice natural spaces and a lovely cafe, market and such lovely staff and volunteers. One of the nicest holiday venues I’ve had in ages. I can’t wait to come back.

    Parked at Rushwick park and walked to the Fold. Normally we can walk across the fields, come out by the Fox pub and then over the road to continue along the river to the fold but as everywhere had been flooded lately, just stuck to the road for a 2.2 mile walk (one way). A warm welcome awaited. Rox enjoyed her obligatory toast!!!

    Attended the Fold for the first time in July as a trader selling carnivorous plants for charity. I found the venue very well laid out with the stalls under cover, which is always nice when its wet or windy. There was good foot fall past mine and all the stalls, you did not feel you were stuck off in a corner or out of the way like some places. The barn also had toilet facilities and a tea area for trader refreshments. There was a nice mix of other stalls in attendance with products varying from food, arts, crafts, cloths, etc. Although I was busy with my stall once the market started I did manage to walk around before hand. All in all I think the Fold layout and facilities were excellent. As a trader it was a very successful day for my carity course and as a customer I think it would be a very good market to attend.

    What’s not to love about the Fold, the amazing small shops with the most delightfully creative gifts, paintings and pottery. The best coffee in Worcester and some awesome vegan fair at the cafe (the cakes are delicious too)! There’s the veg shed that supply’s top quality organic vegetables and eggs straight from the farm (the flavours aren’t just good it’s the type of produce that elevates dishes to the next level) Running foraging walks around the nature trails has been an inspiration, there’s always new species to find and peaceful places to rest and soak in the natural beauty that the meadows surrounding the river teme have by the bucket load. Utilising the market barn for fermentation classes offers bags of space, access to sinks, water and a kitchen, surrounded by the drying onions and garlic bulbs from the farm sets the scene for creating bubbling brews, organic sauerkrauts and misos. The team at the Fold are helpful, warm and enthusiastic. Nothing is too much trouble and there’s no problem they can’t deal with swiftly and efficiently. I have thoroughly enjoyed every visit to the fold and look forward to many more visits in the future

    Two of our party were allowed to order from the lunch menu (toasties), but I was told that I had to order from the breakfast menu. The food service was very slow, and they weren't able to deliver our 6 plates of food even slightly close together. My food was cold before anyone else in the group received theirs. Two of our party didn't receive their meals until after the rest of us had finished eating. I am gluten intolerant, and ordered a gluten free meal. I was given a meal made with normal bread. Fortunately, I had seen another table's food arrive and queried this before eating any. I have been unwell all afternoon following my meal, consistent with a reaction to gluten, possibly as a result of cross contamination in the kitchen. I could forgive much of this had the food been tasty, but it was frankly the most unpleasant meal I have eaten in a long time. The hummus tasted of garlic and nothing else, and the 'wilted seasonal greens' consisted of 4 spinach leaves - barely a garnish. I have no intention of returning to this café.

    Love this place! Me and my boys camped there this summer. We had a great time, there's a nature walk and we went for a swim in the River Teme. There was loads going on. A great market too.

    I am Tree-t carvings and I have held stalls at the Fold a few times this year. My work, my art aligns perfectly with their ethos of sustainability. As hosts I highly recommend them, great team, lovely venue. Looking forward already to working with the Fold in 2024. Mark
