It’s going to be a hot one this week so make the right (and cool) choice of popping down to the farmers markets this Thursday. Have dinner with one of our Eat on Site vendors to save yourself from getting over heated in the kitchen and then treat yourself to ice cream from Take a Fancy Chocolates!

There are plenty of cool places to sit and enjoy the market within our gorgeous park, bring a blanket and enjoy the shade. If you are feeling up for it give yoga a try with our free class from Diane Haynes Yoga at 5:15pm.
