Flour Eggs & Any Old Rubbish; Recipe for Radipole’s Big Fun Day
Things are hotting up for our Big Fun Day (Saturday 24th august 12-4)...
Weymouth & Portland Pride by the Seaside; Radipole Park
Our green spaces should be safe for everyone to visit, relax and enjoy the outdoors, a place where no one should feel excluded, isolated, intimidated or threatened by others. That is the case this coming weekend, everyone's welcomed to what will be a kaleidoscope of colour, people, stalls, lively entertainment and a stage packed with performances, and it's all happening in Weymouth's Radipole park. Weymouth & Portland's first annual Pride event Pride by the Seaside. It's a time when we can all come together and 'celebrate equality and diversity in our community.' Great to see so many Weymouth businesses behind this event...
You Win..We Win; Your Views Matter
A busy old time for posting on here, but that's because there is so much going on behind the scenes with our big Heritage Lottery Bid. We are building up to our final submission and I promise that we'll post news on here soon to keep you all updated with what's happening...
Helping Hands are Always Welcome; Asda’s Green Tokens.
We've just crossed another wonderful event off our list. Last Sunday's Band in the Park was well attended, despite not only fierce competition from other large events in the area but also numerous, not to be missed, sporting finals on tv! But as ever, we can't rest on our laurels, it's onwards and upwards with our fund raising for the Sensory garden, even more important as it's only a couple of months away before the ground works start! Events held in our gardens aren't the only way we raise money, we also look to any grants available and various schemes whereby we can add to our coffers. Over...
Excitement; Summer is Here! Keeping it Simple
Summer is Here! Our website was created to promote, inform about events and share our love of Radipole gardens here in Weymouth. But sometimes it's just nice to post simple photos of our stunning gardens....
And the Band Played On; Weymouth Concert Brass Band
I can't believe we are already over half way through the year! Summer is finally upon us, delicious warmth on face, birds music-making in the trees and it's time to drag out and brush off those picnic baskets. What better way to spend a hot summer's day than lying in the dappled shade of our willows, liquid refreshment in hand, those scrummy fresh scones, cream and jam just beckoning you from our tea tent...
Today’s Children Making Tomorrows Memories; Radipole’s Heritage.
Radipole's Heritage; As a Friends group of Radipole Park and Gardens, we frequently give talks about the history of our gardens to various groups around the area, from schools to nursing homes....
Can a Good Old Stomp Be Good for You? Wellbeing in Nature.
When running events in Radipole gardens, we invite along people that complement our ethos, such was the case when we organised our Wildlife & Wellbeing event back in in May. One of the ladies who attended that day, Emma Pritchard, led people on a 'stomp' through the gardens. Being a great believer in the power of nature to help heal mind and body, what she spoke about really resonated with me. We often see groups walking through our gardens, enjoying the sounds, smells, sights of nature and of course the company of others. A study undertaken by researchers at Michigan University, found that joining in group...
