Little New Park Rangers

FREE Family Drop In Day

Saturday 1st April 2023


Event Postponed


Very sadly we have made the difficult decision to postpone Saturday’s Little New Park Ranger Family Drop in Day.


This is due to the poor weather conditions which have caused wet, muddy ground which will result in issues for car parking and visitor safety in the woods.


There is further rain due this week along with very strong winds on Friday, meaning we simply can't ensure the event will be ready and safe to run.


We are all so disappointed!


Details regarding the new date of this fantastic event are to follow, so keep an eye on our Facebook page and check back here for updates.


In the meantime, we still have plenty of availability for our ticketed Little New Park Ranger courses running throughout the Easter holidays.

We are so sorry for any disappointment and inconvenience caused and hope to see you soon.
