TABLE TOP SALE
What a cracker of an event we had! People were streaming through our doors before we had even had time to set up our stalls and open. But then, hey ho who is going to turn eager customers away.
Refreshments were slaving away non stop all morning.
All in all a great event that added another goodly sum to our funds for the Sensory Garden.

WILDLIFE & WELLBEING
Working in partnership with Natural Choices, Stepping into Nature and Active Ageing our wildlife event this year is going to be bigger and better. Wildlife and well-being, nature and nurture, find out what the great outdoors can do for us and what we can do for it. A chance to chat to those who care for our wildlife and advise us how we can help.
Or participate in free taster sessions of various activities, from pilates to orienteering, cooking healthy meals to simply chilling.
Join in the singing or settle down in the quiet zone for “A magical outdoor storytelling session for families from professional storyteller Martin Maudsley, exploring everyday nature and inspired by the Lost Words book. Martin will bring to life a selection of colourful folktales and legends celebrating some of the same plants and animals that feature in the Lost Words. Join him amongst the greenery of Radipole Park to find out why wren is King of the Birds, what happened to wily weasel and who’s behind the doorway in the old oak tree…” (runs between 11-12.30)
More story telling and singing rhymes to follow from Weymouth Library.
There is plenty for everyone to enjoy from tiny tots to golden oldies.
Want to just relax? That’s fine, spread your picnic rug and open your hamper in our chill zone beneath our romantic, gnarled weeping willows.
