The Picnic in the Park is looming up – 16th August is the date for your diary. But what is in store at this extravaganza? Park the car in the special Burghwallis pub car park which is being set up in the field behind the pub. You will need to drive through the front car park which is being used for the car boot sale and nip through the side gate into the playing field to join the picnic. You have the freedom to set up your picnic areas (including gazebos) anywhere in the park that is not reserved.

FREE ADMISSION
- The Scouts Tent – bring at least two bits of wood to rub together.
- Rides on the Miniature Railway – a great hit from last year – the kids enjoyed it too.
