Looking for something to do during half-term? We have two FREE nature-inspired events. A Bio Blitz event with our partners at Staffordshire Wildlife Trust on Tuesday, 26 May, 10am to 12noon and on the same day we launch our Butterfly & Moth Trail which will be available throughout the summer. Our lovely friends at Oak Tree Farm RP have created a number of butterflies and moths for our trail and these beautifully painted models will be displayed around the church grounds. No need to book, just turn up and enjoy!

Despite a wet forecast, over 70 people turned out to join us on our Bluebell Walk. It stayed mainly dry for the 2 mile walk through the Sandon estate & we were rewarded with a number of colourful bluebell woods.
