Community Memberships

Sow, grow & bloom together at Turf!

Turf is an artist-run space and registered charity located in central Croydon.

Our Community Membership scheme runs on a 3 tier model.Our prices range between £50 per month & £150 per month depending on the amount of times you’d like to use the space per month.
