Winter wander trail with Percy the Park Keeper

4 December 2021 to 3 January 2022

Percy the Park Keeper needs you and your family to help out with some winter tasks and activities around the estate. Follow the map to join in with Percy and his friends, and don’t forget your welly boots as the trail may become mucky with the winter weather. You will get a note from Percy himself and clues to help you along the way until you reach the end where a prize awaits!

There is a £2.00 participation fee which must be paid at Reception or at the Shop in the Stable yard.
