to celebrate our 30th Birthday in 2009 –
a chance to enjoy the formal gardens and the beautiful
views over local parkland.
A magician and Punch and Judy entertainer will
keep the children enthralled – and they’re

children’s activities. Browse the range
of stalls, selling crafts and plants as well as
books, jewellery and other products from local
businesses.
When you’ve had a look round, enjoy a cream
tea or a glass of Pimms. Or you can tuck into

beer as you enjoy our local musicians and performers.
