Market Drayton stickman trail to keep youngsters entertained during holiday break
A new stickman trail will be on offer for families at a popular garden during the Easter holidays.
The Dorothy Clive Garden, near Market Drayton, will be hosting the educational trail from April 14 and April 23, from 10am until 5.30pm daily.
The trail aims to educate families and other visitors about wildlife and plants within the garden, and is part of the charity's ongoing commitment to promoting horticultural education and environmental sustainability.
Families will be invited to explore the trail which will journey through the woodland quarry, following the story of the stickman. On completion families will receive a chocolate treat in the gift room. Kathryn Robey, curator at the garden, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for families to learn about wildlife and nature in the garden as well as having fun and taking some exercise.
"The Dorothy Clive Garden currently looks beautiful as the spring plants and shrubs are starting to emerge."
"The garden tearoom will be open from 10am to 5pm daily. Visitors can purchase a selection of refreshments which include seasonal soups, homemade scones, light lunch snacks and various hot and cold drinks. The garden is located in the heart of the garden where visitors can sit, relax and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside."
The Dorothy Clive Garden is open from 10am to 5.30pm, seven days a week throughout the main season from April to September and then weekends from October through to March, annually.
Admission is free for children under four, £2 for children between five and 17, £7.50 for adults and £7 for concessions.
The Dorothy Clive Garden is a charitable garden trust. It was set up by Colonel Harry Clive in 1958.
The objectives are, to use the garden for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public and to maintain and develop the garden inspired in the memory of the late Dorothy Clive.
