We’re heading to the Cereals Event next week! The Longcliffe Agricultural Products team will be exhibiting on 10th-11th June at Diddly Squat Farm Shop, Chadlington, joining farmers and industry specialists from across the UK at one of the leading events in the arable calendar.

We’re looking forward to supporting British agriculture and sharing how using our granulated lime product can increase soil pH and calcium levels to help unlock yield potential and improve fertiliser efficiency.

From soil biology and nutrient uptake to practical, lower carbon solutions, we’re here to talk about what matters in farming today.

If you’re attending, do come and see us on Stand 306. It would be great to have a conversation.

A true community celebration of art is returning to the Peak District this summer!

We are supporting the bi-annual Bonsall Arts Trail once again. The event takes place on 20th and 21st June, where 81 artists will exhibit across the village, from community spaces to artists’ own homes.

As part of the trail, the Longcliffe Prize will again recognise an exhibiting artist whose work reflects ‘sustainability’. Open to both 2D and 3D pieces, entries will be shortlisted to eight works and displayed in the village hall alongside entries from a children’s competition that has already created a real buzz at Bonsall School.

With live music, local food and a more accessible village-centre route this year, the event continues to grow as a highlight for the local community and visitors alike.

At the heart of a Gold Medal and Best in Show winning garden 🌿🏅

Longcliffe stone has played a key role in Sarah Eberle’s stunning Campaign to Protect Rural England garden, ‘On the Edge’, at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, helping to create a landscape described as “earthy, subtle, full of surprises and utterly beautiful.”

Stonework crafted by the talented team at Noble Stonework and brought to life by The Outdoor Room the garden has captured huge attention at the world’s most prestigious horticultural event 🌱

This is the second Chelsea Best in Show winning garden to feature Longcliffe stone, following Harris Bugg’s award-winning garden in 2023. Its natural textures, varied shapes and timeless character made it the perfect fit for a garden inspired by the beauty of the British countryside.

A brilliant achievement by everyone involved 👏

A major investment, and a big step forward for Longcliffe 🌾 Construction is well underway on our new multi-million-pound granulation plant at Brassington Moor Quarry, with completion on track for the end of 2026. This facility will produce high purity granulated lime to support UK farmers in optimising soil pH, improving crop health and increasing fertiliser efficiency. It also marks an important step in strengthening our long-standing commitment to British agriculture.

With 1,500 tonnes excavated, 40 tonnes of steel installed and 600 cubic metres of concrete already in place, this is one of the most significant investments we have made in decades. It reflects our confidence in the future of the sector and our role within it.
