FREE THE PARK FROM LITTER
a family fun event on September 8th
at the Park Visitor Centre on September 8th, 9.45 until 2.00
On Sunday 8th September we are holding a free, fun event for all the family, with two special activities for children. Both aim to make everyone aware of litter problems in the Park, and help them encourage others to bin their litter or take it home.
– a poster design competition for children : prizes will be awarded and street artist Katie O will paint the winning designs on one of the Park’s main paths.
– a hands-on creative workshop : local eco-artist Beth Zeen will help children and adults to create their own special eco-artwork, turning litter and other discarded items into something beautiful.
You can also buy Friends’ merchandise and we’ll be encouraging people to join our mission to promote and maintain our beautiful Park.
Do come along and enjoy this free event at the Park Visitor Centre on September 8th, 9.45 until 12.00
