Friends of Waterlow Park are organising a coach trip on Saturday 30 May to this famous garden and plant nursery near Colchester in Essex. Beth Chatto, now in her 90s, is one of the country’s foremost plantswomen. Highlights are the gravel garden, the fabulous display of herbaceous plants and shrubs, and water and woodland gardens. Come along to get ideas for your garden or just to enjoy seeing great garden design. Coach will depart Highgate at 9.00 and return by 17.30.
Bringing the ancient art of Falconry to the modern age, with a far-reaching and breath taking display, that is guaranteed to thrill in the beautiful setting of Highgate Cemetery Courtyard.
Filled with audience participation and interaction, the display also shows the natural attributes and abilities of the birds and exhibits how they live, fly and hunt in the wild.
Including Peregrine Falcons, estimated at reaching speeds of up to 242mph, British Barn Owls, spectacularly silent in flight, spell binding as they fly. The Kestrel – We have all seen them hovering at the side of motorways, but have you ever seen them this close?
Gates open at 7pm for the Static display. The Flying display starts promptly at 7.30pm and will last around 45mins followed by Questions and Answers and an opportunity to take photos.
The closing night of our brand new commission is a chance to mark our birthday with you in style.
On this very special evening, come and celebrate with a performance of Gandini Juggling’s meta followed by a champagne reception with canapés, a chance to meet the artists and brilliant live music and entertainment at the post-show birthday party.
