New Year, new ... ? As 2020 gets closer what new adventures and activities will you try out in the New Year? To help you out, we've put together a few ideas together to inspire you at Attingham from January onwards.

Capture Attingham

Be inspired by the beautiful views and parkland at Attingham. Whether you’ve had a new bit of kit for Christmas, are using a tried and tested favourite camera or just taking snaps with your mobile phone – this time of year is great to practice your photography. The crisp wintry mornings and warm early evening sunsets in the Deer Park along with backdrops of woodland and wildlife set the scene for that perfect photograph.

Night Run at Attingham Park 

Night Run returns to Attingham for its sixth year on Saturday 21 March 2020. It’s time to don your head torch, snap those glow sticks and illuminate the night sky.

Signs of spring: Snowdrop Watch

From late January to February, watch out of the first signs of spring as the snowdrops begin to raise their heads and begin to peek through the woodland floor. Pick up a leaflet from Visitor Reception from February to find the best places to see the snowdrop displays in the woods around the Mile Walk.
