Friday 23 August 2024 – Storm Lillian and 42 mph gusts of wind on-site today mean that we cannot safely put up gazebos to do activities.
We’re really disappointed but the safety of visitors is our priority. The sun is shining though at Paper Mill Lock and we will reassess wind strengths at noon to see if we can get our flags flying this afternoon and do the treasure hunt. If you see them flying do pop by and say hello.
