Wicksteed Park Natural Heritage
Come join us for Heritage Open Days 2024 at Wicksteed Park. Explore the path less travelled with the rangers of Wicksteed Park for a guided walk through our water meadow. Learn about the natural features that run through the Wicksteed grounds and history that extends beyond the playground and rides.
Two routes will be provided to make the tour as accessible as possible. The red trail will take you through the water meadow which will have uneven grounds and largely no marked path. We recommend this for our more adventurous visitors. If you are interested in a more casual stroll but still interested in the nature and history of the park, we recommend the blue trail which will have more level paths throughout. This is more suitable for those who may use a wheelchair or a pram.
Saturday 7th September: 10:00am – 12:00pm
Sunday 15th September: 10:00am – 12:00pm

Barton Seagrave – Medieval Manor
Join us for a lecture by Dale Munn MA MSc, about the history and function of the medieval manor house that was once located on what we know as ‘Castle Field’, but perhaps should be called Manor Field instead. He uses topographical studies and archaeological evidence to give a probable location to the medieval village of Barton Seagrave as well as features of the manor such as fish ponds and moats.
Sunday 8th September: 11:00am- 12:00pm
The lecture will take place in the Garden Room which is located up the stairs through our main reception. A lift is available in reception for those who are unable to use stairs.
Please Note: Parking charges apply.
