Abstract
As commercial leisure and the presentation of places for leisure become important dimensions in the late twentieth century, it is productive to identify whether all activities that do not measure up to these forms are merely anachronistic survivals, or whether their evaluation offers potential in the critical analysis of leisure participation. The allotment is presented as a case in point, and questions over the meaning that leisure holds, the way it connects with everyday life and with wider cultural relations are explored.Keywords
