General update

We are celebrating news that Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens have been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award for the fifth year running. The Green Flag accreditation is an international quality mark for parks and green spaces and is testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone caring for the parks.

Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens have met the quality standard every year since the completion of the £3.1m ‘Parks for People’ project in 2021 with the National Lottery Heritage and Community Funds.

This also follows news that an exciting new-look play area in Kearsney Abbey is set to swing into action - and your views are sought.
