Welcome to our website. We have a thriving allotment community here at Firs Estate with 52 plots on 6.5 acres of land. The main entrance is on Dean Street, at the junction with Harrison Street, opposite the Londis shop. The postcode is DE22 3PU.
This is a private site (rather than a council-owned one) and is leased by the association from the landowners. The site is run by a management committee which is elected by the plotholders. Tenants who rent a plot automatically become members of the association.
We are in a sheltered position on a south-facing slope with good loamy soil. We like to think it is an attractive site, with hedges bordering the grass tracks connecting the plots, numerous trees and an area set aside for wildlife.
For the latest information about what what’s happening on the site please search for our page Firs Estate Allotments on Facebook.
If are interested in renting a plot or visiting the site please email us at firsestateallotments@outlook.com

Do you think allotmanteers are aware that the government is considering removing local authorities’ statutory duty to provide allotments? Unfortunately, the hardly- publicised consultation period ends in a few days (April 26th 2011). It is the 22nd April today. Anyone reading this may wish to e-mail their MP with views or e-mail the government: burdens@communities.gsi.gov.uk
How do I rent a plot interested if any avaliable
To enquire about renting a plot phone our secretary Sandra Weightman on Derby 365943
Hi,
Are you planning an open day this year. I moved to the area last year and your open day was fantastic.
Also, do you know if Rowdich Allotments have a similar open day or site to check on.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, glad to hear you enjoyed it, we will be having an open day but haven’t set a date yet, it’s usually in August, details should be on here nearer the time. Sorry I dont know much about Rowditch.
