Last summer picnic dates!!!

Here are the last summer holiday Pushchairs and Picnics dates before my little girl goes in Year 1... some of you may be thinking we have another 2 weeks left of the holidays but Katie's school go back on the 29th Aug!!!!

On Tues 21st if the weather stays fine we will be meeting at Rushcliffe Country Park, Ruddington we will be meeting at 11am somewhere near the adventure playground.

Rushcliffe is a great venue for picnics, plenty of space to play, maybe even fly a kite, a lovely adventure playground, a discovery trail and large duck pond/lake!!

The park is on the outskirts of Ruddington, it is a 5/10 min walk from Ruddington Village, leave the Green and walk up Asher Lane.

There is a car park at the top of Rushcliiffe Country Park, but i'm unsure if there is a charge for this.
Bus 10 goes to Ruddington Green from Opp Victoria Centre.

On Friday 24th August we will be meeting again at Arnot (Arnold) Park at 11am.
Last week we had a lovely time the children loved playing on the park, eating ice creams and feeding the ducks!!

See you there...remember your picnics and suncream!!!!!

Whats happening this week?

To celebrate the release of the latest Batman film..Dark knight rises...filmed at Wollaton Hall, there will be a 'super hero's family picnic' on Monday 6th Aug, this is why this week only I decided to change the pushchairs and picnics to Monday.

There will be childrens entertainment, Robin Hood and for a small fee bouncy castle and face painting.

Dress up in your favourite super heros outfit!!!

As usual there is free entry to the grounds and Hall although there is a charge for the car park, £2 for 3 hours or £4 for the day.

Friday 10th August

Pirate Park, Forest Recreational Ground

Lovely park with lots of space to run around, fly a kite, play ball and have a picnic.

buses that run up Mansfield Road to Arnold, Basford and Rise Park stop at the top of the forest ground, you could catch the tram and if you are driving you could park in the park and ride car park.

I will not be attending this picnic but hope you all have a lovely time!!!
