The Fifth Trust

Elham Valley Vineyard Skills Centre

Our Vineyard Skills Centre opened in 1996. It is in the beautiful Elham Valley.

At this site, you will find:

  • Our Head Office
  • The Vineyard Garden Centre & Café
  • A range of fun and useful activity sessions

Just across the road, at Barham Business Park, we have four more spaces.

These include:

  • A photography studio
  • A barn

It’s a great place to learn new skills and meet new people.

It’s also home to our small charity vineyard where we produce a range of wine. All the proceeds from wine sales are ploughed back into our charity.
