Fancy seeing a garden?
Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre
09:30 – 14:30
A gentle ride to Lane End House at Curload. There are a few sections along main roads (A38 and A361, but nothing too bad)
https://findagarden.ngs.org.uk/garden/36116/lane-end-house
This is opening exclusively for us under the National Garden Scheme, so there is a £5 entry fee (cash). Refreshments are available (again, cash), but it will be coffee/other drink and cake only. if you require something more substantial I suggest you bring with you - or could pick up at the Community Store in SSGregory. It would also be polite to let her know of any specific dietary requirements- perhaps you would WhatsApp/message these to me individually please.
I do need to know numbers by Monday, as Veronica will be collecting eggs from her hens to bake us some goodies 🍰.
Weather forecast is ☀️
If this proves successful and popular, I will try to organise some others. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hestercombe
French Weir Park

May be dodging a few showers, but hopefully staying dry - come prepared! A gentlish ride, with a few short sharp rises, but there is a busy stretch, coming from Adsborough, turning left onto the A38, followed by a right turn shortly afterwards. You need to be confident on a busy road.
Your mission is to spot these fabulous bluebells along the way
