Sledging in St. Albans

Robin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:49:04 +0000

The snow that blanketed St. Albans at the weekend offered plenty of opportunities for sledging. But where are the best places to go sledging in St. Albans? Our top picks have to be the park, just next to the Abbey, and Batchwood Golf Course (seen here). We’ve also gone to the Brickie, off Lower Dagnall Street, in the past but the snow there tends to go a bit bare quickly. There must be some other good spots I’m missing – feel free to add your favourite spot to go sledging in St. Albans in the comments.

St. Albans Festival

The St. Albans Festival, which runs from the 18 June until the 3rd of July, kicked off yesterday with a rain soaked Festival Pilgrimage in the park and performances by a number of bands.

Between the downpours I could hear it all from the dryness of my livingroom but lets hope not everyone was put off as it should have been a great day…

The annual Herts County Show is this Bank Holiday weekend. We go every year – although the ticket prices aren’t cheap, it is a great day out for the whole family. There’s equestrian, animal shows and of course awards for best farm animals/flowers/vegetables. It’s the premier countryside focused event in the calendar, which brings out farmers, posh country pile owners and us city folk in large numbers.

This Sunday, Oaklands College will be hosting a Lambing Day at their Smallford Campus. The free event is open from 10am to 2pm.

The annual event offers adults and children the opportunity to help the College celebrate, and see for themselves, the birth of this season’s lambs.

In addition to the birthing of lambs, there will be tractor rides, farm tours, family games and tours of Oaklands Animal Care Centre which is home to a range of animals from reptiles to rabbits.

The College offers a range of courses including Animal Care, Agriculture, Horticulture and Countryside Management.

Hot and cold refreshments will be available and homemade chutney and free-range Oaklands eggs will be on sale. Parking is available on site and is free, as is the event.
