ℹ️ DETAILS
There’s no need to stay for the whole session, just pop along when you can to help out. Everyone is welcome. We would also love to meet anyone who is interested in regular Conservation Volunteering in Ampthill Park. There is an opportunity to join a new volunteer group meeting every month to work alongside the Park Rangers and undertake a variety of conservation tasks.   

These two events are opportunities to come and find out more. 

🏵 SNOWDROP FLOWERS
Snowdrops are closely associated with remembrance so you may want to plant snowdrops in memory of a loved one and be part of a larger community effort. The bulbs will flower early next year, 200 years after Lord and Lady Holland planted the double Lime Avenue. This will form part of the Alameda’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 2027.     

🌱 TOOLS PROVIDED
The park team will be on site to provide tools and show you what to do. If you are interested in the Conservation volunteering, we will explain our plans and provide information. 

ℹ️ FOR MORE INFORMATION & LOCATION
Further Information on volunteering and any updates for this event will be available via Ampthill Town Council's website and you can email council@ampthill-tc.gov.uk for more information.

Christopher Boone is gifted with a brilliant mind for numbers but unsettled by the unpredictability of people and everyday life.
When a neighbour’s dog is discovered killed, he finds himself under suspicion. Determined to prove his innocence, Christopher becomes both detective and suspect, pulled into a mystery that grows darker and more complex with every clue he uncovers.

What begins as the search for a culprit soon reveals secrets much closer to home, forcing Christopher to confront truths that will test his courage, his family, and his understanding of trust, independence and the wider world.

Inventive, gripping and deeply moving, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time blends the intrigue of a whodunnit with a powerful coming-of-age story to create an unforgettable theatrical experience.
