Santa
15 & 16th December 2007

For the first time the iron age roundhouse was used in spectacular fashion as Santa's grotto. The building was decorated with fantastic lights and candles in addition to a large christmas tree.

Over the course of the weekend around 400 children visited santa and his elven helpers. The Mad Hatter led the children on a walk through the wood in their quest to find santa's grotto. On the way they met the Queen of Hearts, the March Hare and Alice.

Halloween Bat Hunt
25th October 2007

Things go bump in the park
Review from the Echo (Monday 29th October)

PUMPKINS, witches and ghosts have been spotted chasing bats in Hadleigh Country Park.

The walk involved following a trail of bats hanging in the trees. They were near other objects connected to Halloween which children, many in fancy dress, then jotted down on a notepad. Once they had all 12 objects they were given a prize.

Gary King, park ranger, said: "There were lots of happy children. We had quite a few witches, pumpkins and ghosts turn up."
