Ideally situated amongst the gentle rolling fields of the Kent countryside, our Pembury site on Cornford Lane is an oasis for our residents, users of our day-services and visitors alike. 

Bluebell Cafe 

The Bluebell Café serves hot drinks and a selection of delicious cakes, meals, sandwiches and snacks. 

We continue to follow the latest government guidance in relation to Covid-19 safety measures, such as encouraging our customers to continue to wear face masks and use the hand sanitiser available and we follow regular and stringent cleaning and hygiene procedures at all times.

Parking

Please note, we have some parking spaces available but this is limited and at busy times the car park may be full.  We politely ask that visitors do not double park and those arriving by car take extra care and reduce speed when entering our site/car park from Cornford Lane as pedestrians are often using this area.

Recycling Christmas Trees

We are offering a free recycling service for used real Christmas trees this year (2022). Bring your tree back to us and we’ll use it to create an environmentally friendly 'dead hedge' which we are building to provide shelter for new plants and wildlife. Please drop off your tree outside our small animal barn at our Cornford Lane site.

The site

Our site has a variety of animals, a playground area, an outdoor gym and woodland walks that our visitors are welcome to enjoy. We have rabbits and guinea pigs in the small animal barn and donkeys, goats, sheep and pigs in enclosures on the grounds. (Please note our main animal enclosure is currently being refurbished and some of the larger animals have been temporarily moved to other areas of the site.)

We ask all visitors to be mindful that our site is at the heart of the living area of many of the people we support, many of whom work in and use the cafe and help care for our animals. We are, essentially, inviting members of the public into their home and we ask you to please be respectful of this at all times. It is also a working site used by Aspens' care, maintenance and office staff. 

Well-behaved dogs are allowed at our Cornford Lane site in the outside areas only, and should be kept on a lead at all times, including in our fields and woodland areas, as some of the people we support are fearful of dogs and we have livestock on site. Please clear up any dog mess and take home with you. 

Please support us

To help us maintain our site and to contribute towards the work we do, rather than charge an entrance fee, we ask visitors to consider making a donation in return for using our grounds. There are collection boxes on site and you can also make a donation when you visit the Café or Reception. Alternatively, you can donate online and sign up for our free newsletter.
