Using the shop
You need to be a member of the Sale Horticultural and Allotment Society (SHAS) to use the Trading Hut shop. All plot holders, those on the waiting list for a plot and social members can freely use the shop.
You are welcome to join SHAS to use the shop even if you do not want to become a plot holder.
Get involved
The Trading Hut is run by SHAS members who volunteer their time on a rota. If you’d like to join in, you’d only need to help out about one weekend every six weeks. It is a great way to get involved and meet fellow members.
Location
The Trading Hut shop is located near the southern gates of the Grosvenor Road Allotments site, directly opposite the Ashton Park bowling green gates.
