For those wanting to know when the rain delayed Milly Jam will be, we have moved from Saturday to Sunday, see you all tomorrow!

A couple of forthcoming events to welcome in spring.

The Spring Bird Walk will be held on Saturday 23 April, starting at 8am from the bottom of the steps at Archer Road. All are welcome

Friends of Millhouses Park AGM will be held at 7pm on Wednesday 27 April in the Park Cafe. Please do join us to find out what has been happening this year, what is coming up in the next year, and how you can join in.

Every year the Friends of Millhouses Park and others meet to prune, replant and reweave the living willow domes and tunnels in the Park.

Date and time: 27th February between 10am and 2pm. Feel free to drop in for all or just part of the session.

All are welcome, including children with accompanying parents. No previous experience or special skills required.

We had some very sad news this Christmas: Ken Allen, a very active member of Friends of Millhouses Park died suddenly on Boxing Day.

Ken was a keen and enthusiastic volunteer who was a true friend of the group. He helped on every project in recent years including tree planting, bulb planting, gardening, clean ups, duck races and helping at events. He was particularly involved with the sensory and herbaceous gardens. Ken’s enthusiasm, expertise and dependability will be greatly missed by the rest of the volunteers. His passing is a sad loss to the park and the community and he will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with his widow, Hilary and the family.

Sunday 12th October will see out great Autumn Clear Up! Come along to the Park Cafe at 10:30am to get started! 

Sheffield Council Parks, Countryside and Open Spaces would like to know your opinion of our amazing park! We have done so much together to improve Millhouses Park over the years! This is your chance to have your say – so make sure you use it!
