Activities

As we are about to mix in larger groups outdoors, it's probably a good time to start planning some activities .

 

  • Guided tree walks – 2 – 4 pm on Sunday 13th June. Meet at Church Road bridge over the Chater. Come and join us in small groups of up to six or so people. The groups will be guided round the village to look at the fantastic range of trees that have been grown and planted in Ketton.

  • Footpath clearing walk – 7 - 9 pm Tuesday 22nd June. Meet at Geeston T-Junction with secateurs. ​​
