FAQs

Are there toilets at the event? Sorry, there are no toilets in our local park.  If you are not near home you may wish to visit one of our local cafes as a customer and use the customer toilets. Cafe 48 is usually open until 2.30pm and is very near.

Can I bring my dog? Well behaved dogs on leads can attend activities in the park. Participants in mindful walks often prefer to attend without their dogs so they can give full attention to the walk.
