Bedfont Lakes Parkrun - Weekly Free 5km Timed Run

Please see this website for information on this event organised by 'parkrun.org': http://www.parkrun.org.uk/bedfont/home

Bedfont Lakes parkrun is a free weekly timed 5K around the Country Park – meet near the Information Centre every Saturday morning and the run starts at 9am. The run is not a race, it is an event that can be used as the individual needs. Some runners come to try their hand at their first 5K and discover their pace; others come to better their previous performance; but others may use this as part of their training regime and enjoy the social aspect.

For more information then please contact the Event Director (Sharon Gibson):BedfontDirector@parkrun. com or come down on a Saturday morning and have a chat with one of the team.

Spring Events Programme

Stuck for ideas to entertain the children during half term? Then why not bring them down to Bedfont Lakes where they can discover how to survive out in the wild. A fun day out for all the family. Children (and parents) will learn how to make shelters, what’s safe to eat and how to keep warm in the outdoors.

Have you ever wondered what lurks in the depths of the ponds and in the long grass? Then why not bring your children down to Bedfont Lakes during the half term where they can explore the meadows and dipping pond. The rangers will teach them how to use the equipment and tell them all about the creepy crawlies that they find.

Come and support our stall at Ashford on The Map, featuring our popular bottle tombola and hook-a-frog game.

There will be a falconry display, Punch and Judy, local dance groups, Spelthorne gymnastics display and a marching band in the central arena, along with a great deal more.

With over 100 stalls, games, fairground rides, pony rides, refreshment stalls, traders, community organisations and local churches, this certainly puts Ashford on the map.

The Fun Day remains non-profit making and self funding and the organisers rely entirely on the generosity of the community to support us.

We very much hope you will come and enjoy the day.
