ROCKAWAY PARK‘Would those who say it can’t be done, please stand clear of those doing it’
Rockaway Park is home to a community of diverse and interdependent creative talents. Based in a disused quarry – which has been transformed over the years into a vibrant and thriving arts hub – we believe that collaboration and collectivism; sharing work, vision and ideas, are how all great creations take hold and manifest.
We have an extensive programme of live music events, workshops, courses and alternative markets. There is a vegan cafe serving delicious home-cooked food that has been grown in the Rockaway Community Forest Garden or ethically sourced. We are open for lunches on weekdays and Saturdays, plus vegan roasts most Sundays, with a help yourself service when not staffed.
Our garden welcomes visitors to either help us with its continual development, or simply to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. We also hire out our spaces for events and location filming, plus we offer staff away days for teams who are looking for something unique in an inspirational setting.
