Easter Egg Hunt 2018
The Easter Egg Hunt is back this weekend… Saturday 31st March.
Get those bunny ears ready!
Spring is on the way
Coming soon…..Spring is on the way.
We’ve all been hiding away a little in the last few days, keeping warm and protecting ourselves from the elements. Looks like our flowers and bulbs have been doing the same in the park, struggling to survive underneath inches of snow and freezing temperatures. Over the next few days and weeks, keep an eye out for the Spring flowers slowly blossoming, stretching out their leaves to welcome the sun and reaching their heads to the the sky. Here are a few plants to look out for…
Print these photos and look for the plants in the park.

Hatherley Park News
Recently we were successful in gaining a Community Pride award 2013/14 for the park and we have been awarded a grant from Cheltenham Borough Council to cover half the cost of a picnic bench, which will be located near the toddler play area, there will also be a bench to replace the carved log.
In spring 2014 an oval bed of a wild flower mix called “Old Comrades Mix” will be sown close to the pavilion in and include Flanders poppies, Bishops flower, red flax. The new beds along with the new table and bench will all be ready for our third Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday 19th April 2014. The Mayor has agreed to join our celebrations and be a part of the 75th Anniversary of the opening of the Park. We would like to put on a display of photographs and personal memories of the park, so if you have anything to share, please let us know.
Another date for the diary in the new year, the Friends of Hatherley Park AGM will be held on Monday 24th February in the meeting room in St Stephen’s Church and will start at 7:00pm and close at 8:00pm. Your support, contributions and ideas are always welcomed, so please come along.
Finally back to 2013, watch out for notices in the park and email about our annual Leaf Sweep. We’ll let you know the date and time. We’d love as many people as possible to come along and help – bring along a rake to help out!
