Experience the countryside right in the heart of Chippenham! This year, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is bringing the wonder of nature directly to Monkton Park, offering a unique chance to explore and appreciate the wildlife that surrounds us. Learn about the Trust's efforts to restore habitats such as chalk streams, downlands, and woodlands, and see how we are protecting local wildlife.
Country Comes to Town is packed with engaging activities for everyone. Children can enjoy hands-on crafts, while adults can participate in wellness activities led by the Trust’s Wellbeing team. Plus, you can even pedal your way to a delicious smoothie on the smoothie bike! And of course, you will get to meet some adorable farm animals...
