Nestled by the river in Great Abington, just outside Cambridge, Abington Woods is a serene woodland venue offering a unique and tranquil setting for a variety of events. Whether you’re planning a private celebration, a retreat, or a workshop, our natural spaces provide the perfect backdrop.

With two beautiful garden areas complete with fire circles, a cozy tipi, a theatre, a charming shipping container for more intimate gatherings, and a spacious hall with a fully equipped kitchen, we have everything you need to create a memorable experience.

Weaving a Tapestry of Community, Abington Woods is more than just a venue—it’s part of a larger vision to create a network of connected communities through education, nature, and shared experiences. Managed by Patchwork Education Village, our goal is to provide a space where people from all walks of life can gather, learn, and contribute to the rich tapestry of community life. Every event, class, and gathering at Abington Woods is a step towards weaving together these patches of community into something larger, more vibrant, and lasting.

A Living Woodland

Our woodland is not only wild-seeded but also carefully cultivated, ensuring that it remains a beautiful, welcoming and thriving space for all who visit. At Abington Woods, you’ll find a harmonious balance between untamed natural beauty and thoughtful design, making every visit a special experience. We take the conservation and guardianship of the woodland very seriously and we welcome your donations towards our efforts.
