We also offer a range of other handwoven items, and we organise special events throughout the year, contact us for details.

The Phoenix Café is dedicated to serving vegetarian and vegan food and is situated at the front of Universal Hall, in a beautiful garden setting. Open year round, the Café has both inside seating and a popular outside garden terrace area. The Café offers breakfasts and lunches, and also runs occasional evening events and Folk Music Sessions.

 

Trees for Hope
Tree for Hope was born out of the need to respond to the ecological, social, and personal despair in the Fertile Crescent. Our journey began from a desire to help with the necessary transformations so that the land could recover fully to its natural intelligence. We offer the processes, skills, tools and means needed to initiate the ecological recovery and personal / social transformations. Together with our partners and volunteers we are engaged in the rewilding processes in the Wider Fertile Crescent* and a demonstration project in the Atlantic rainforests of Scotland.

Trees for Life
Trees for Life is a rewilding charity based in Findhorn, committed to creating large-scale environmental change in the Scottish Highlands. Focused on restoring the once-extensive Caledonian forest, the charity’s vision includes the rejuvenation of entire ecosystems. Our efforts aim to foster biodiversity and encourage the natural processes that sustain life in our ancient woodlands.

Universal Hall Promotions
