Newark Park's Special Species

Come and learn about the special species at Newark Park this September and October among the autumnal colours.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

There will be a free leaflet to pick up at Visitor Reception to learn more about the special trees in the garden including one tree, a Katsura, which smells of burnt sugar when the leaves change colours. For those who like to learn more about the fauna, there will be several fact boards through the garden and into the wider estate. These will share information about the bats, which call Newark Park home, and their amazing characteristics.
