Welcome to The Friends of The Field Community Association

We spread the word and you see who we are, what we are doing, why, what we all may lose, what we all may gain and how YOU can help.

Our biggest need is to attract funding:   We need approx £400,000 to build a hub.  Can you help?

Freemantle and Shirley in Southampton, UK is our Community.  The Field is listed as Open Space.
25,000 people live in our Community area. The Field is 8 Acres in size and is Green Field on the Local Plan as reference CLT3.

The Field used to be well used by all the Community since the 1800, even during it's ownership by the Civil Service it was well used until it started losing money and the Civil Service allowed the site to fall into rack and ruin.

Vandals burnt down the Social and Sports Pavilion and some trees and a visit from Travelers finished it off for the local Community. Massive padlocks now prohibit public access.

Our Association seeks to save this huge green field area from developers and to return it's use to the Community. We are campaigning the City Council to help us do this.
Please help us to help you.

We also organize Southampton's Foyes Corner Festival - 1000's of local residents attend a free festival for all ages.
