Our events for all ages bring the community together.

Fun filled events that bring the community together and enhance a love of Rowntree Park

 

Events run by the Friends of Rowntree Park

The Friends of Rowntree Park offer a range of events throughout the year for all ages. These include a range of family and children’s events such as forest school and nature/eco-based sessions. At times we also run adult craft and wellbeing sessions, nature walks and have live music in the park.

Some of our events are drop in but others need booking in advance. Please check social media for up-to-date information on events.


External events held in Rowntree Park

Anyone can book to use Rowntree Park as an event/activity venue. The Friends of Rowntree Park handle external bookings for the park. As it is a ‘managed’ park, activities have to be booked in.

As an example, in a year we have regaular events such as Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Dance, Salsa, and nature writing groups. These events are booked directly through the event provider. Organisations, groups or individuals can book to use a space for a one off event such as a party, meeting or a activity whether open to the public or private.

If you’d like to find out more about booking an event at Rowntree Park get in touch hello@rowntreepark.org.uk.

If you have an idea for an events and activity, whether as an independent person/organisation or something you want to run in conjunction with us – get in touch and we can chat!
