Dates for your diary:
Friday 7th May, 6.30pm, Parkers Piece and Bleyswycks Bank are open to all to celebrate the official opening of these sites earlier in the afternoon. We will be serving drinks with a hog roast and leading guided walks starting at 6.45 and 7.15. For a location map for this event, please click here.
The official opening will be performed at 3.30pm by the Right Reverend Nigel Stock, Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, and the Right Reverend Graham James, Bishop of Norwich. We will be inviting many of our sponsors as well as local people, and so we regret that this is an invitation only event to limit numbers. However, if any LOHP members would particularly like to attend, they should contact Jo (enquiries@lohp.org.uk, 01379-898684).
