Event Space Booking

Book one of the UBC Farm venues

A self-serve space, the Farm allows a great deal of flexibility for community members to create their ideal event.

The UBC Farm provides some amenities and resources, but the details of the event are the responsibility of the renter, including rental equipment, sound, lighting, and catering. Many spaces are regularly used by our own programming so book well in advance of your preferred date to secure your spot.

Tell us what type of gathering you are planning through the bookings request form below and our site coordinator will get in touch about our availability. We review all requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure all events fit within the spirit and mandate of the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems.
