Degmo is a word used by Somalis to describe a cluster of family encampments erected by nomads tending their livestock. Here in the UK, in a secluded valley at Hangingheld Farm, surrounded by sheep and cows and far away from roads, houses and street lights, we have created our own version of a Degmo: a haven where Somali families, community groups, and all those with an interest in Somali affairs can stay and immerse themselves in the rural cultures of both Somalia and Britain.

Ramadhan 2010

This year the Holy Month of Ramadhan falls in the middle of the summer holidays. Why not spend some of the month relaxing in the natural setting of Degmo? Last year many families did just this and found the farm an ideal place to fully appreciate their fast. See FAQs for further details.
