**Please note location change!!! Due to the weather forecast this will now be at Ashton Hill Woods at the top of Belmont Hill, so we will have a bit more cover if it rains! Hope to see some of you there , please do let us know if you are joining us and we will look out for you.
Exciting new chance to experience a fascinating trip through the Holly Hedge archives!
Our great new friends at Weston Museum are putting on a special exhibition in their community gallery to celebrate our 30 years of rescuing and rehoming. Along with photos and newspaper cuttings of particularly poignant rescue stories, there’s also the chance to explore their interactive touch screen to discover the history of Holly Hedge right up to the present day.
With our 30th anniversary officially running until March, the last day of the exhibition is Saturday 4th March. The world-renowned Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, is also on display and will be on show there until 8th February. And if all this wasn’t enough, the Dismaland Pinwheel has even been loaned to the museum by the artist Banksy!
Our February walk will be at Ashton Court, meeting at the car park by the golf course – post code BS8 3PX. Parking charges do apply here, I believe it is £1.50 for an hour.
Our Bristol walks are to raise money for Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary so please bring along some change for the donation box.
For our March walk we will be meeting for a walk at Stockwood Open Space. We’ll meet on Hungerford Gardens (BS4 5HB) for a walk of around an hour.
Our walks are in aid of Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary so please bring some coins along for their great work?
Well behaved dogs are allowed off lead on our walks.
