Love Parks 2024
Come and discover your local parks *this Friday* (26 July)!
This summer, we’ll be celebrating Chelmsford’s green spaces as part of the nationwide *Love Parks Week*, running from 24 July to 2 August 2024. With 17 Green Flags and 3 Green Heritage accreditations, these are home to so many plant and wildlife species, ancient woodland to vibrant lowland heath, and even more to explore.
To mark the occasion, our Love Parks event is back – this time at Oaklands Park [
], just south of the city centre.
It’s *free to attend* and runs from *10am to 3pm *across the front lawn of Chelmsford Museum. Bring family, bring friends: just like our parks and green spaces, there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy.
The day will feature all kinds of activities, including:
A tote bag and handles with a peregrine printed on the front.
*Print your own tote bag *with Chelmsford Museum and local artist Katie Kennedy (book on the day)
A pair of hands weaving willow into a basket.
*Willow weaving workshop* with local willow artists Glenys Newton and Deb Hart
A group sat by a fire in a forest.
Explore the work of *The Wilderness Foundation *in helping all ages reconnect with society through nature

And if you entered our *Name the Peregrine competition*, don't forget to pick up your goodie bag from the Parks stall! And visit the finished willow sculptures installed near the junior play area.
Chelmsford Museum [
] will also be open during the event and refreshments will be available from the Hive Cafe.
