Coun Paul Stokes (Ind), deputy leader and cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: “We are delighted to welcome visitors to Wyndham Park this festive season.

“Despite the chilly weather, it is well worth venturing out to enjoy the variety of activities on offer to suit all ages and interests, set against the backdrop of our fantastic park.”

The visitor centre serves as a warm space until March 2025, offering games, books, and social activities.

“By opening up our visitor centre as a warm space this winter, we’re able to extend our support to those who need it most – whether it is somewhere warm to sit and relax or a place to socialise and connect with new friends,” Coun Stokes said.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome too.
