Opening the tower

View of Locke Park tower lit by the late-Autumn sun amongst trees bare of leaves

We are next opening Locke Park Tower on Sunday 3rd March from 2pm until 4pm. Hopefully the weather will be kind and afford good views.

You can walk to Locke Park Tower from the car park (S70 6NE) or the café. [What 3 Words: Car Park –remit.silent.hills; Café –roses.melon.saving]

Follow the paths to the highest point in the park to get to the tower.

Donations are appreciated to help improving the park; the much admired murals and fairy garden, near the bowling greens, were funded from your donations.

*We try to open the tower each first Sunday of the month. It depends on both the weather and whether we have enough volunteers. Check online using our Facebook page.

Film-inspired wall paintings

A recently completed, very popular, addition to Locke Park. Images of Narnia and The NeverEnding Story join those based on the films Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. Great work undertaken by the gifted artist Andy B. Lots to enjoy …

Sarah Dewey visited and produced this collage of characters in the paintings. Much appreciated! Every visit you see something different!!

And then there’s the fairy garden too!
