Hassocks Parish Council owns and maintains the Parklands Allotments in Hassocks.

If you are a Hassocks resident you can apply to the Parish Council to rent an allotment. There is a waiting list, but plots do become available.

The fee is currently £40.00 per year for half a plot and £20 per year for a quarter plot.

A refundable deposit of £50.00 is payable at the beginning of the tenancy and refunded at the end of a tenancy depending on the condition of the plot.

Included in the rental fee is membership of the Hassocks Allotment Holders Association (HA HA).

The Association was formed in 2008 to help allotment holders and to foster a sense of community.
