A BUSY programme of events to keep visitors busy from autumn to spring is planned at Walton Hall Gardens.
On Wednesday October 26 children have the chance to be a “Keeper for the Day.” Children, supervised by their parents, can attend sessions from 9am -10.30am or 11.00am-12.30pm.
The popular event gives youngsters the experience of working in the Children’s Zoo – including mucking out so old clothes are essential.
Christmas comes to the zoo on Saturday November 26 from 2pm -3pm. A festive tour gives youngsters the chance to meet the animals, decorate a Christmas tree and make a Christmas card for an animal of their choice.
A Bird Buddies event is being held in the Heritage Centre Yard on Sunday January 8, from 10.30am – 12noon .
Youngsters can make a nest box for their garden to help birds during the winter months. All materials are provided, and younger children can make an attractive log feeder to take home.
Anyone interested in a healthy start to the New Year can join a Resolution Ramble on Sunday January 8 from 1.30pm – 3pm. Meeting point for the three-mile guided walk is the Pay and Display Car Park. People are advised to wear suitable clothing and footwear.
A three mile stroll from the same meeting point at 10am will be held on Tuesday January 17. A similar stroll will be held from 1pm on Thursday February 14.
On Thursday February 16 there will be more Keeper for a Day sessions.
An Eight-mile Halton Hike, through Hatton, Stretton and Appleton, is being held from 11am on Sunday February 26.
An Afternoon Leisurely Stroll is planned from 1pm on Friday March 16, and a Local History tour will be held from 2pm on Sunday March 18.
Easter celebrations start on Saturday March 30 with a tour of the zoo and the chance to meet any new arrivals.
Anyone wanting further details or to book for any of the events should call 01925 601617 (option 2).

Sounds really good and getting families involved well done everyone involved with these initiatives at Walton Hall. I often wonder if a shuttle service could be put on from the Town Centre bus station for such events for those who don’t have cars.
