Festive Tree Trail
Sarah Gaffney-Lang, Families Editor
Whilst The Whitaker museum undergoes refurbishment work for its exciting expansion project (which is expected to be completed by Spring 2021), explore the stunning park where you’ll find a new, festive tree trail.
Wander through the parkland in search of seven trees which have been decorated by the museum to promote a “homespun, recycled feel – befitting of traditional wassailing and the midwinter feast.”
The trees have been selected because of their unique character and location within the landscape – conjuring a sense of independence and solitude.
Families are invited to get involved while exploring! Take photographs and share snippets of your adventures via social media – just tag @whitakermuseum and use the hashtag #Whitaker7trees.
If your little ones have been feeling crafty then bring along your own home-made decorations and add them to other trees in the park – thus expanding the trail for other families.
We think a gander around this picturesque park is a perfect way to carve out some much-needed calm amid the pre-Christmas chaos.
