Green Estate Programme
Sunday 13th October
11am – 4:30pm
From the expansive vistas of Green Estate – the site of Manor Castle – there is no better place in which to immerse yourself in a whole day of imagining new ways of living and being in a more harmonious relationship with nature. This invitation to delve deep into the sovereignty of the natural world, to contemplate the urban environment around us and how it came to be and to hear poetry around an open fire pit, will ignite a spark in all who join us. Free family activities. Bar available.
Accessibility: Most of the site is accessible, on ground level, with an accessible toilet available. It should be noted that activities are spread across multiple venues on the site. Travelling between them on foot may take time as some of the routes are through uneven ground; however, a paved path is available. We want our events to be as inclusive as possible. If you have any accessibility requirements, please contact us here.
Visitor information including how to find Green Estate can be found here.
