Unfortunately, Brunch in the Park, due to take place this Saturday at Millennium Park, has been cancelled.

The Town Mayor has made the difficult decision not to proceed with the event as a precautionary measure due to the exceptionally dry conditions in the park and the potential fire risk associated with the planned BBQ.

Thank you for your understanding.

The good news is that there are still plenty of opportunities to support the Town Mayor's Charity, with more community fundraising events planned in the coming months. Keep an eye on our social media for updates!

🌳Our Manor Park volunteers were busy last week helping prepare timber for processing and clearing brash piles as part of the ongoing management of the woodland.

While clearing brash is essential for a healthy, well-managed woodland, we're also leaving some piles in place to provide habitat and shelter for existing and new wildlife. 🍄🐜

A big thank you to the volunteers!
