Our second round bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund for the Kearsney Parks has been successful! We've secured £3m to restore and improve Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens and develop activities to help people engage with this unique heritage. We'll also be hosting more events, such as the recent Farm and Forest Activity Day.
