Taking small steps (and great walks) back to normal life
© Euston Hall
Have you been walking the same routes during lockdown? What we weary walkers need now is a series of events that add pizazz to our promenades – colour to our constitutionals. Leaping Hare’s brand new walks, Strolling through Time, showcase Thetford’s rich heritage, each stroll ending with socially distanced tea and scones! Choose from two new walks, which are taking place in May and June. One tells the story of Henry Cable and Suzannah Holmes, among the very first people to settle in modern Australia. The other will take participants around
the fascinating ruins of the Priory. For dates and details, log on to the Leaping Hare website. Meanwhile, we’re gearing up for the return of regular events, kicking off with the reopening of the gardens at Euston Park from 10-16 May. Limited tours of Euston Hall will be available from 25-31 May in addition to the gardens and then slightly larger hall tours for 17-23 September. Plus, the always-popular Thetford
Open Gardens returns on 27 June, raising money for St Nicholas Hospice Care with a special bonus date of 6 June to celebrate beautiful roses.
