This relaxed walk is perfect to build friendships and socialise with other families. Children can discover nature's treasures along the route by building journey sticks and they have the chance to stop for a picnic and play in the meadow. Don't forget to bring the sandwiches!
There is the option of expanding the route to include the Great Pond if there aren't any small children present or to exchange the route for Great Pond if repeat visitors would like an alternative route.
Trail distance: Both Millers Pond and Great Pond - 2 miles. Millers Pond only - 1.2 miles.

Don't miss the smash hit comedy from Will Jackson. Based on real-life correspondences; storytelling and lipsync cabaret collide in this queer coming-of-age comedy about the complications of 21st century communication.
Will has accidentally stolen 300 second-class stamps from the post office. But he's making them count. He's going to write letters. From reconnecting with old friends and ex-boyfriends to run-ins.
You're invited to join Will for this incredibly gripping and emotive personal recollection of real-life interactions - from childish chocolate-fuelled mischief to sensitive and real experiences with the NHS, this intimate show tackles hard-hitting issues with humour, honesty and fun.
Bring your own bottle, light supper included.

Online - facilitated by Creswell Crags
The Age of the Deer is a masterful hybrid of nature writing and cultural studies that investigates our connection with deer - from mythology to biology, from forests to cities, from coexistence to control and extermination - and invites readers to contemplate the paradoxes of how humans interact with and shape the world.
Join the book's author, Erika Howsare, online as she reads a section of her new book in which she visits Creswell Crags to view the ancient rock art, depicting deer, that was discovered there in 2003. This will be followed by a short presentation about deer in Pleistocene Britain by Creswell Crags Curator, Angharad Jones.
Erika and Angharad will then engage in a Q&A to delve deeper into our relationships with deer.

Tired of your same old walk around the block? Why not try this 3.5 mile guided group trail and explore your way around the Hardwick Estate, spending more time outdoors this winter.
The Oak Group Walk is perfect if you want to meet with fellow local ramblers and stop for a well earned coffee after.
Toilets are located at the start and end of the trail in the Stableyard and at the half way point in the Park Centre. There are rest stops along the trail and refreshments can be purchased at the cafe prior to and at the end of the walk.
