Question 1

Where can I stay?

Accepted Answer

Chipping Norton is the nearest town to FarmED and there are a number of hotels and pubs with rooms in the town centre – most offering a very reasonable range of rates if you book now. Here are the pick of the options: Premier Inn; Kings Arms; Crown & Cushion and The Fox.

Question 2

What if I have dietary requirements?

Accepted Answer

You can let us know if there are any foods you’d like to avoid for the Big Day Out and the Big Night In as part of the checkout process. (By the way, because it’s a working farm, FarmED’s kitchen uses organic produce grown in its own fields so you’re in for the FRESHEST ingredients imaginable!)

Question 3

I said I was interested in helping out. What's happening?

Accepted Answer

We're really grateful that you've offered to help and will be in touch as soon as we've fine-tuned the plan for the day.

Question 4

How accessible is FarmED for people in wheelchairs or with other needs?

Accepted Answer

Our event takes place in FarmED’s award-winning buildings. There are no steps in any of the buildings. Wide side doors can be opened to assist wheelchair access. Assistance dogs are welcome in the buildings. There are two disabled car parking spaces next to the entrance of the main building.

Question 5

What is FarmED?

Accepted Answer

FarmED’s mission is to provide learning spaces and events that inspire, educate and connect people to build sustainable farming and food systems that nourish people and regenerate the planet. These really chime with the Assembly's role in the lives of paraplanners. (Plus it's a lovely venue.)

Question 6

Will there be photography at the event?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We love a good a photo featuring our events so don’t be surprised if you spot a photographer or Assembly host lurking with a camera. If you don't want to appear in photographs that we publish online, please let us know when you arrive at the event.

Question 7

I'm not a paraplanner or administrator. Can I take part?

Accepted Answer

Assemblies are designed by paraplanners for paraplanners and we also welcome administrators, so if you are not one please don’t book a ticket. If you’re still really interested in coming along then get in touch with us at hello@paraplannersassembly.co.uk.
