9:00: parkrun


Saturday 7 September

Every Saturday you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate at a 5k course around the park.

For more details see the Wollaton Hall parkrun website.

The run is organised by volunteers so, if running is not your thing, you could get involved with one of the many simple tasks that make each event work.

Check the parkrun news page for occasional cancellations.

 

The lowercase 'p' on parkrun looks odd to us too - please see the parkrun website where they state "parkrun should always be one word, all lowercase."

11:30: Organ Demonstration


Saturday 7 September

There will be a demonstration of the organ on at 11.30 and 1.30, where you will be able to contribute to the restoration fund.

Just turn up in the great hall. After a short recital visitors are invited to come up to the gallery to learn about the history of the organ
