​Volunteer Sessions are back! 
Every second and fourth Sunday of the month 10am - 12 noon
Cancelled temporarily due to Lockdown measures in place.


We are now able to restart our regular sessions to continue reclaiming the grounds. Tasks for the most part will be ongoing maintenance, path clearing, litterpicking, gradual removal of invasive none native species and overgrowth.
At the present time we have few tools, so if volunteers can try to bring their own hand tools etc that would be great. We hope to have access to our own supply soon. Sturdy footwear is essential. Hand sanitiser and sanitising spray will be provided.

Birley Spa Bath House

Birley Spa is a community bath hall and a Victorian bathhouse in the Hackenthorpe district of the City of Sheffield, England. It was built for Charles Herbert Pierrepont, 2nd Earl Manvers and the Lord of the Manor of Beighton in 1842, and initially was a hotel with spa baths beneath. Subsequently, it was used for many years as private dwellings. In the 1973 it was given Grade II listed building status. History
