The Friends of Broomfield Park's Conservatory Group have published a list of the special events that will be taking place this year in the hidden jewel in our local park.
There will be events for gardeners and music lovers, as well as for kids and for people of all ages wishing to improve their artistic or culinary skills.
As well as events in the Conservatory itself, this summer there will be another opportunity to visit Elizabeth Dobbie's beautiful garden in Arnos Park
On Sunday 4th June Conservatory Group chair Elizabeth Dobbie will again be opening her garden in Arnos Park to the public.
Broomfield Conservatory is open on Sundays and Wednesdays from 2.30pm to 4.30pm (2pm to 4pm during the winter months). Entry is completely free, but voluntary contributions are always welcome, as they pay for the planting and other materials used by volunteers.
