... [more] [less]What your organisation does
We are a new charity opening an historical site up to the public, making it accessible through visits and other relevant methods, including digital media. The main activities initially will be research, an archaeological dig, and renovation of the site, making it accessible and able to be opened to public. We are planning several events: garden
walks, special openings themed for the time of year (snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells and so on), and historical activity including re enactments, banquetting hall and venue for ceremonies. Would like to support other charities in the area, providing a venue for meetings and fund raising opportunities. Considering community gardens / plots.
