๐Ÿ’– CHARITY STALLS
We believe that it is our responsibility to re-pay the community for all the support
weโ€™ve enjoyed over 25 years. So we have always made it our responsibility
to help charities with a special offer. We donโ€™t give money but help them to help
themselves by giving them a very special deal on the price of a pitch. We particularly like having the smaller charities with us.  For instance every year a husband and wife raise money for a special school to have an outing and any money left over is used towards much-needed equipment.  Speak to one of our team, or phone us on 07852 70 70 74.

๐Ÿ—บ HOW TO FIND US
You can find us on the A507 just outside of Baldock. Coming from the A1 take the second exit from the โ€˜Tescoโ€™ roundabout, follow this road to the next roundabout and then turn right. We are on the right just up the road.
๐Ÿ“For Sat navs use SG7 6RD which will bring you close enough to the field.

๐ŸŽฃ Men to Talk - Fishing for well-being at Manor Farm Lake in Lower Caldecotte


Time: 13:00 - 15:00 Price: ยฃ5.00

๐Ÿ—ฃ A Safe Space for Men to Talk
โ€˜For Men To Talkโ€™ is a support group for men dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. The fishing meetings give men a chance to talk openly with others who understand. Whether they share their struggles or simply enjoy the quiet company of others, they are never alone.

Casting lines and building connections: โ€˜For Men To Talk and Fishโ€™ in 2025 In 2025, โ€˜For Men To Talkโ€™ will continue their popular โ€˜For Men To Talk and Fishโ€™ meetings at Manor Farm Lakes in Lower Caldecote. These sessions are more than just fishingโ€”theyโ€™re a lifeline...

๐ŸŽฃ The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishingโ€”casting a line, waiting, and focusing on the waterโ€”can be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.

๐ŸŽŸ TICKET PRICE - ยฃ5
โ€˜For Men To Talkโ€™ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of ยฃ5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.
