The parklands are popular for large-scale outdoor events such as barbeques, point to point horse racing, country & western festivals, vintage traction-engine rallies, country sports, fairs and gymkhanas.

For the little ones there is local riding stable within two miles, and a new child friendly playpark.

There are also twenty acres of fishing lakes providing good sport for the most discerning of fishermen.

Paintballing and Lazerquest can be enjoyed by those looking for an active weekend, and others can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the scenic meandering footpaths.
