Park Hall Countryside Experience - coming events

Dear Blogger

Message from Farmer Richard at Park Hall - A great place to take the little ones in the holidays

Our Summer of Fun Continues!

What a summer it's been - introducing our new Wild West event, going sports mad during Let's Get Physical and having a roarsome time during Dino Week. We are open daily during the holidays, and the events continue:

Science Week: 10th - 16th August
Bop & Pop Week: 17th - 23rd August
Falconry Week: 24th - 30th August

Maisy's Maize Maze is Open!

This year, your task is to track down a notorious gang of farmyard outlaws who have escaped from the Old Barn Jail. A chocolate treat is waiting for those who track them down! The maze will remain open for the rest of the summer holidays.

Birthday Parties at Park Hall

We think Park Hall is the perfect birthday party location - loads to do inside and out, room to run around, bouncy castles, cute animals to meet, tractor rides, play areas, plus you get your own dedicated party room to enjoy a hot or cold lunch. All accompanying adults have free entry with a minimum of 8 full-paying children. 

Find out more

We are open daily during the holidays, from 10am - 5pm. 

Tickets during the summer event weeks are £13.60 per person online or £15.50 per person at the farm entrance, and under 2s are free.

See you on the farm very soon,
From Farmer Richard, the farm team and all the animals


Congratulations Amy & Robert

Dear Blogger

CONGRATULATIONS

Wasn`t it lovely to hear the church bells last Saturday, it was a reminder of the central part St.John the Baptist church has been to the surrounding community for hundreds of years.

Many congratulations to Amy Penton, daughter of Stephen and Christine and Robert Jones, son of Edward and Janet.

Best wishes to a local couple for many happy years to come. 

Church bell ringing is a real art - if you are interested in getting involved, contact                                                                                                      Shropshire Association of Bell Ringers  www.sacbr.org.uk

Dear Blogger

Message from Booka Bookshop

AN EVENING WITH OZ CLARKE - Wine Expert @ The Grove Performing Arts Centre

See attached poster

Calling all wine lovers!

Join us for an evening with Oz Clarke, one of the world’s leading wine experts, known for his phenomenal palate, irreverent style, accurate predictions, and enthusiasm for life in general (and wine in particular).

We’re thrilled to be hosting this event with Oz to celebrate the publication of his new book The Vine is a Wild Thing, a guide to grapes, growers and gloriously good bottles, designed to inspire every wine lover – whatever their knowledge or budget!

Good wine has personality, and so should a good wine guide.

In this iconic and passionately opinionated guide to the world of wine, legendary writer Oz Clarke pops the cork on his lifelong love affair with grape and glass. Drawing on a lifetime of tasting, travelling and storytelling, Oz reinvents wine writing to reveal a fundamental truth: the more you learn and understand your glass, the better it tastes.

Oz is the ideal drinking companion on your journey to better your knowledge and improve your enjoyment of wine – bursting with practical, inspiring and ceaselessly entertaining information on the modern world of wine including everything from sustainability to the essentials of how wine is grown and made today.

So whether you are yearning to drink your way across the classic regions, or discover the new and unexplored, taste the greatest Bordeaux or find the simplest local wine bar quaffers – Oz shares detailed tasting notes on the wines he drinks and where to find them, unearthing hidden gems and maverick makers along the way.

Rich with stories and infectious enthusiasm, this is the ultimate companion on your journey to understanding and enjoying wine.

Let Oz tell you all about wine – don’t miss this great opportunity to see and meet him as he shares knowledge and stories ‘live’ in Oswestry!
