“Our goal is to enhance the old buildings and gardens, making the whole site more accessible right up to Moulsecoomb Station, and create a sustainable and lively place which brings benefit to the local community and the wider city.”

Richard Upton

CEO of Cathedral Group

How we got here: What's been happening at Moulsecoomb Place

2022 saw Cathedral, the new owners of Moulsecoomb Place, canvass the views and ideas of the local community on their proposals for the site at two large consultation events, in July and October, and bring local people together for a winter fair.

Our beautiful vintage Airstream diner arrived on the lawns and, under the brilliant management of Jacob and Kate from Tiger Eats Carrot, is serving up delicious plant-based food and drinks as well as hosting events on site - find them on Instagram for more! @tigereatscarrot
