Providing vibrant, affordable and accessible allotments for the community

Bournemouth East Allotment Society Limited (BEAS) is a self-managed allotment site located in Southbourne, Bournemouth.  As a self-managed site and a not for profit organisation, the allotments depend on their volunteer Management Committee and supporters.

We give people of all ages and background the opportunity to get involved in ‘growing your own’.  We also have an Associate Membership which allows people to access any community events and the Allotment Shop and facilities, even though they do not have an allotment plot.  

On this website, you will find all the information you need about  becoming a member or, if you are already an Associate Member or a Plotholder, about your Membership, the Shop, Helpful Guides and Growing Tips, Social Events and links to our Newsletter and other useful information.
