East Town Park

12/09/2026

Today we held our annual Volunteers & Staff BBQ at East Town Park - one of our favourite opportunities to get together, enjoy some good food and, most importantly, say a huge **THANK YOU** to our incredible volunteers! 🎉

Throughout the year, they give so much of their time, energy and enthusiasm to East Town Park! Helping to look after the park, supporting our events, and making favourites like our Easter Egg Hunt 🐣 and Halloween Trail 🎃 possible.

Their hard work and dedication also play an important part in helping East Town Park achieve the prestigious Green Flag Award - something we’re incredibly proud of.

They really are a beautiful bunch of people, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything they do. 💚

So here’s to our amazing volunteers. Thank you for helping make East Town Park such a special place! 🥰👏

What's On West Suffolk East Town Park

10/08/2026

Our senior park rangers attended this hedgehog safety presentation - a big thank you to Lynda and Jana! 🦔

Recently, Lynda and Jana met with representatives from West Suffolk Council, including the Landscape Team, Park Rangers and other council staff, to talk about one of the biggest dangers facing hedgehogs in public spaces: strimming.

Lynda delivered a detailed hedgehog safety presentation, which was recorded so Green Space and Heritage council staff across the district can all benefit from the training.

The Council had also been kindly provided with yellow hedgehog warning stickers by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS), which are now being added to strimmers and other grounds maintenance equipment. It's a simple but important reminder to check areas carefully before cutting, and a positive step towards West Suffolk Council’s goal of joining the BHPS Hedgehog Heroes Roll of Honour.

This presentation, and the drive to improve strimming awareness across West Suffolk, came about thanks to Jana's determination to make Moreton Hall the safest place for hedgehogs in Bury St Edmunds.

A few of Lynda's books were also sold on the day, and a thank-you donation was kindly made to Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital.
