Meet on the Green outside St Nicolas Place at 11am

This is a FREE event lead by local Friends groups


Please wear suitable shoes fit for the Park and mud tracks of the nature reserve.  The first half of the walk is accessible by wheels.   Tired legs can stay and/or play in the pleasant surroundings of Kings Norton Park whilst others complete the more rugged terrain of the nature reserve. 

We finish back at the Green about 1pm for refreshments in the Old Grammar School if you can’t make the stairs you are welcome to use the cafĂ© in St Nicolas Place.
We shall be discussing local history, share your stories and knowledge, looking at nature and having a quiz along the way and sharing a cuppa and snack afterwards.

The circular route, I guess is around 2.5 miles long and we think it will take us a couple of hours, we shall walk
The Plumbers Arms M&B was demolished (also lost was The Bell) to build larger pubs with gardens and family rooms

You can complete the walk or pop back to the Park at any point.

Nothing too strenuous or taxing, some stuff you might not know about our past and a bit of fun in a very lovely part of the Kings Norton ward for the Easter holidays - fingers crossed for dry weather.
Here's a couple of  Easter jokes to get the kids warmed up!
 
How does the Easter Bunny stay fit?   Egg-xercise!
 
What do you call a rabbit that tells good jokes? A  funny bunny!
 
Bring your own jokes and parents!

Happy Easter Everyone!
