Like the rest of the country, Brogdale’s businesses are having to adapt to accommodate the new Covid19 laws and measures. Unfortunately, that’s had a massive impact on a number of our tenants and we all want to make sure they are still there for us all when all this is over.
Here’s a quick run down on how some of Brogdale’s businesses are currently operating and ways you can continue to use their services and offer your support.
Brogdale is home to the National Fruit Collections and has hundreds of acres of beautiful, rare and heritage orchards. These remain open to anyone who has a Brogdale Orchard Pass. As long as you pre-book your visit, access to the site is available all year round.
Brogdale is also renowned for its rural courses and workshops which are still being planned for next year. These are a great idea for Christmas presents – or to treat yourself!
