It appears that Bestwood Village is currently cut off due to flooding. Since servers and bakers are prevented from getting to the Dynamo House, we have taken the decision to close the cafe tomorrow, Saturday 21st October.

The sighting of a Marbled White butterfly in the Park has caused a flutter. This is the first official recording in the Park for 10 years as part of UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme. With nearby sites of this scarce Notts butterfly, hopefully it will establish here. #30DaysWild
