1. Weekend Volunteer Mornings

Join us for one of our regular weekend volunteer mornings, helping to look after and improve the park. Tasks vary with the seasons and might include planting trees and bulbs, cutting back vegetation, spreading woodchip on paths, building dead hedges and litter-picking.

Come for an hour or stay for the whole session — everyone is welcome and no experience is needed. Children are welcome with a supervising adult. We provide tools and refreshments; just wear sturdy footwear and clothes suitable for outdoor work.

We usually meet on the grass by the entrance next to the railway bridge — What3Words: belt.turkey.yarn. Check the individual event below for full details.

2. AGM – Annual General Meeting

Monday 19th October 7-9pm in the Manor Park Hall

We’ll report back with what we’ve been up to over the past year. Our group is 10 years old in 2027, so we’d like to get your input in how the park develops over the next 10 years. And generally we loved to hear what you have to say about your park.

All welcome.

3. Christmas on Plough Green (including festive market and lights switch-on)

Saturday 28th November 9:30-12:30 – decorating the community Christmas Tree on Plough Green

Why not join this year’s Christmas Team – help out on the day or with the preparations. We’re also keen to speak with local businesses/organisations who’d like to consider sponsoring the event. Team@ourmanorpark.org.uk

4. Weekday Volunteers

Our team of dedicated Weekday Volunteers are out in the park most Monday’s and Thursday’s 10-12noon. They get stuck in to a wide range of tasks – ranging from litter-picking to tending flowering beds and building dead hedges. It’s very sociable. If you’d like to get involved, please drop us a line to team@ourmanorpark.org.uk and we’ll make sure you know where to meet.

Please wear warm rough clothes. Wellington boots or other tough footwear is highly advisable – the park is often very water logged. If you have gardening gloves and and tools such as loppers/shears do bring them along.
