Events. All events are free and open to members and non-members alike. Donations always welcome.

Sunday   19th October                Fungi Walk

Meet 1.00pm on the portico steps of the mansion. Our expert has asked for an early start as the light will be better for finding the fungi.

Sunday  16th November             History Walk

Meet 1.30pm on the portico steps of the mansion. The Friends haven’t run a Sunday history walk for a while so that situation will be remedied with this little saunter around the park.

Wednesday 10th December          Early Winter Walk

Meet 1.30pm on the Mansion steps. A quiet, calm stroll around the park  before the last minute Christmas shopping claims everybody's time!

About The Friends Events

All our events are free, but any donations to funds are much appreciated.

Most last about 1-2 hours, but you can join in for as long or as little as you like.

It is advisable to wear stout walking shoes, as the paths do get very muddy.

Walkers are individually responsible for their own safety during our events.

Children are welcome, but a parent or guardian should accompany under-12’s.

Dogs are welcome, if kept under control. Walk leaders always carry water and mobile phone
