Welcome Halloween in the Walled Garden was such fun with lots of spooky specials for the children to enjoy. The Walled Garden Team are now busy planning for their Christmas festivities. There will be the annual favourites including 'Elf on the Shelf' and festive arts and crafts for all to enjoy. We have some new activities that we are putting the final touches to and will share these with you in the December WJ News which you will receive on Friday 1 December. As ever, please let me or a member of the Walled Garden Team know of any suggestions for future activities for your WJ and their friends. Issy Adolphy Walled Garden Manager
Adult Guest Fees
Festive Fair
Following a review of the use of the Walled Garden by adult guests accompanying members, it has been decided to reduce the adult guest fee during off-peak periods.
Woodcote Park Saturday 18 November, 12.30-3.30pm
From Monday 6 November, the offpeak fee will be £8.25, which is half of the standard fee. Peak periods will be weekends (all day Saturday and Sunday), Bank Holidays and school holidays. Offpeak periods will be all other times. Please remember that there is also the option of purchasing an annual ‘Guardian Pass’ for adults who regularly accompany Woodcote Juniors to the Walled Garden, details of which can be viewed here.
