Broomfield Hall
Surrounded by the glorious Derbyshire countryside, Broomfield Hall represents the best of all worlds - the latest learning facilities in a historic setting with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
Situated four miles north east of Derby overlooking the scenic Derwent Valley, the Broomfield Hall campus offers a range of specialist practical courses in land-based studies covering everything from agriculture, horticulture and floristry to conservation and animal care. The only education provider of its kind in Derbyshire, Broomfield Hall now attracts students from across the county.
Its farms and extensive working estate cover almost 450 acres: an outdoor classroom where students can gain hands-on skills. Ancient woodlands, landscaped and walled gardens, extensive greenhouses, animal care units, an equine centre and engineering workshops complement the general teaching facilities.
The campus also features a well-stocked library, IT facilities, halls of residence, dining room and student services building. The popular Broomfield plant centre has blossomed into a major attraction for gardening enthusiasts.
Built in 1870 and once the home of the Crompton family, the elegant hall boasts original period features and has recently been refurbished in keeping with its historic character. It also provides professional facilities for conferences, seminars, training and other functions.
For all who use it, Broomfield Hall campus is a breath of fresh air.
