An Information table will be manned throughout the afternoon.
Prior to the event we carried out checks of the environment to ensure any obvious hazards are removed.
However…
– Please have regard for your safety when using stepped and paved areas; when walking through grassy or woody areas being mindful of hidden gravestones and potholes, low branches, and uneven ground.
– The yew trees are poisonous – signage will show you where they are in case you are not familiar.
– We advise that you wear comfortable footwear and long trousers if you’e walking through the long grass areas.
– The area is exposed in some areas so don’t forget your sunhat and water.
– We ask that children are age appropriately supervised and that anyone with a visual or physical disability are escorted to ensure their safety.
