Meet The Bodgers!

No, it's not a spelling mistake.
Bodgers are traditional wood turners, using freshly cut wood, hand tools and foot powered pole lathe to make beautiful wooden items.

This Sunday you will have the rare opportunity to see the crafters in action.

The North West Military Vehicle Trust will also have vehicles on site, so there really is something for the whole family this weekend.

Authentic crafters, military vehicles, restored WWII air raid shelter - all within the 20 acre heritage park, turning autumnal with beautiful views of the lake.

With so much going on this weekend, you'll be here for the whole day. Good job we're stocked up with hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Open 11am - 4pm Saturday & Sunday

Looking for a half-term activity that’s a little bit different?

Build a bird feeder and give local wildlife a helping hand at Becconsall Heritage Park!

Our woodland bird feeder workshop lets children build and decorate their own feeder using wild berries and foliage gathered from around the park. A lovely chance to explore nature, get hands-on and make something to be proud of.

Children from 5 years old. Adult assistance may be needed.

Places are limited, so book your spot today.

Pumpkins to make the neighbours jealous!

Let's get half-term crafting.

Bring the family to Becconsall for a fun-time hunting for a pumpkin in the Heritage Park and then get crafing by decorating the pumpkin to take home and display for Halloween!

A little exploring, a little crafting and lots of autumn fun.

Limited places so book early to avoid missing out.

Learning, creativity and lots of fun!

Yesterday the expert took us on a
guided tour, learning about nature in the park. Time to toast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate around the fire and then sleeves rolled up and getting messy making clay keepsakes to take home as a memory of the day.
