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.

The special summer event in the park is scheduled for Saturday, 8th August – more details to follow.

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.
