The Hummingbird's Home in Bruton
We have a 5 year lease for the Hummingbird and will be taking over the King's Bruton’s History Building on The Plox.
Though formally independent from Kings Bruton, we’ll also have access to King’s wider facilities including their playing fields and labs.
Number 27 on the picture. We will be developing the space prior to September 2025. More pictures to come soon and you can visit for a tour from the Autumn.
