Your own space, without the crowds
A private gym, an indoor pickleball court and units to let, all on a working farm at Eight Ash Green near Colchester
Book it and it's yours
We know how it feels when the court is full, the gym is packed or there is nowhere quiet to train, play or work. You end up fitting around everyone else instead of doing what you came to do. At Foxes Farm you book the space and it is yours for the session. No strangers, no queues, no fuss.
We are a working family farm at Eight Ash Green, on the edge of Colchester and a few minutes from the A12 and A120. We have welcomed people onto this farm since 2007, and every space here is set up so you can turn up and enjoy it.
NO MORE PUMPKINS. NOW THE FARM IS YOURS.
After 19 years of pumpkins, we have changed what this farm is for. The barns and fields that once filled up for a few weeks each autumn are now open all year round, for you.
Train in a private gym with no crowds. Book the indoor pickleball court with friends, and if you play padel you will feel right at home. Walk your dog in a secure, private field. Or rent a unit for your business. Pick your space, book it and turn up. No queues, no fuss.
What's on at Foxes Farm?
Foxes Gym: your own private gym by the hour
Book the whole gym for yourself, a friend or your clients. Free weights, machines and cardio, with room for up to 3 people and nobody else in the room. It is pay as you go from £20 an hour, with no membership and no contract, and personal trainers use it as a private PT studio. See the private gym.
Foxes Pickleball: an indoor court for your group
If you love padel, you will love pickleball. Our indoor, carpeted court is £20 an hour for up to 4 players, open 7 days a week, with paddles and balls ready on court. The rules take about 10 minutes to learn, so everyone is playing proper points by the end of the hour, and the weather never gets a say. Book the pickleball court.
Units to let and storage
Need a base for your business? We let commercial barn units and offer container and vehicle storage on the farm, with easy access and parking on site. See units to let.
Secure dog walking fields
