Here is what’s coming up in August
We’re looking forward to welcoming you in Cranford Park in August. There’s no need to book for the following.
Summer Event: Saturday, August 15. Free, for the whole family. The day is currently being planned. Other news: The cattle have returned to Cranford Park’s meadow for their summer holiday and to help the biodiversity of the park. Please don’t take dogs into their paddock.
London Wildlife Trust: Building Hibernacula: Saturday, August 8 (10:30 AM – 2:30 PM). A free event where visitors of all ages can learn about and build a ‘bug hotel’ for wildlife.
Stable and Secret Garden Open Day: Sunday, August 9 (10:30 AM – 1:30 PM). See our rainbow pebbles, listen to the sound of running water and sit among the flowers and butterflies! Chat with the volunteers and maybe lend us a hand too. Entrance is from the courtyard.
Other news: Work is currently underway in the historic cellars and the cafe building to install a staircase and other internal fittings. Measurements have been taken for external window shutters to improve security. We are expecting the building to open in late spring but don’t yet have a date.
