The Royal Parks are organising a series of activities during August 16-30 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Isabella Plantation in 1953.
These include story telling, art and drama, a teddy bears' picnic and guided walks; there will be a large yurt to accommodate the activities if/when wet. The Friends will have a stand at the exhibition in the middle weekend.
The dates and activities are shown below. For more information, call the Park office on 0300 061 2200 or e-mail isabella@royalparks.gsi.gov.uk.
All activities will be held at or near Peg’s Pond, at the northern end of the Plantation, except where shown. Please note that the car park next to Peg’s Pond is for disabled (blue badge holders) only.
