General update
As summer gets underway, now is a great time to get out and enjoy the amazing Kearsney Parks.
It continues to be a busy time of year in the parks for the wildlife, with a whole range of highlights, including the young cygnets on the water. The parents are protective of their young, so please be careful when you visit the park and keep a safe distance from all wildlife.
Works are also well underway on the exciting new-look play area for Kearsney Abbey. This follows the go ahead for the £155k renovation, with funding from the National Lottery ‘Awards For All’ Scheme and DDC. The area is set to provide a range of equipment, with a particular focus on inclusive play equipment to cater for all abilities. Works are due to be completed by the start of the school summer holidays in July.
We were also delighted to welcome visitors to the Farm and Forest Day at Kearsney Abbey in April. Thank you to everyone for coming along and making the event such a success. It was lovely to see so many people enjoying the day, despite the weather, and visiting the range of farm animals, stalls and activities. And thanks to everyone for your feedback on the day, which will help us to shape future events in the area.
Kearsney Café update
The café in Kearsney Abbey will need to close for two days on 11 & 12 June for essential maintenance. However, the kiosk will be open from 10am for these two days with a range of sweet treats, hot and cold drinks, and ice cream. The café is having work done to its gas supply, and we are also looking to carry out routine maintenance works to refresh, repair and paint the inside of the building and clean the outside and patio area at the same time. The toilets outside the café will remain open as usual. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you in advance for your understanding.
