Grymsdyke Farm is a shared space for design experimentation, located in the village of Lacey Green just outside London. Over the past 20 years Grymsdyke Farm has repurposed its agricultural buildings to create maker spaces and communal facilities where traditional craftsmanship blends with modern digital design.

Grymsdyke Farm has become an important reference point and a resource for architects, designers and students: a place to develop ideas, explore design practices and investigate methodologies.

Our education programme, Reading Design which includes an annual summer school, is pioneering an interdisciplinary and communal approach to design education. Our teaching and workshops develop experimentation in fabrication, supported by lectures, talks, publications and exhibitions.

Grymsdyke Farm is a not-for profit organisation. Within easy reach of central London, its rural setting in Buckinghamshire is linked with design and making in a region that historically was the heart of the British furniture industry.
