Big Garden Birdwatch
Friday 24th January
The Big Garden Birdwatch takes place between 24th – 26th January. Everyone can take part in the world’s largest garden wildlife survey, at home, or at school. The results, along with those taken from surveys in schools throughout this term, helps scientists form a snapshot of how birds are faring across the UK.
Our ever popular Birdwatch Brunch returns, with a fitting shortbread biscuit for dessert.
Chinese New Year
Wednesday 29th January
Chinese New Year celebrates the first day of the first month on the Chinese calendar. It is also called the Spring Festival and is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays.
Each year is represented by a different animal, called a Chinese zodiac sign, this being the Year of the Snake. Legend has it that people born during under that sign have similar traits to the animal.

Summer Solstice
Thursday 20th June
Welcoming the first official day of the summer season. At the summer solstice, the sun travels the longest path through the sky and that day therefore has the most daylight. What better way to celebrate more sunshine and warmer temperatures than with a range of BBQ and picnic lunch options.
