We were delighted to welcome Judge Chris Worman back on our 30th anniversary of winning the Green Flag Award!💚 Chris reflected on his visit, saying: “It was a privilege to return and judge Queen’s Park 30 years after my first visit,” and spoke about how much he loved “kidding about” on the farm!

Celebrating 30 years of winning the Green Flag Award! We are so proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s best-managed green spaces, and to be one of only four sites across the country to win every year since the Awards began. Thank you to everyone who plays a part in caring for this special park💚

Built in 1936 to commemorate King George V’s Silver Jubilee, the Quiet Garden's Lych Gate once served as the park’s main entrance. Traditionally, lych gates marked a threshold between everyday life and sacred grounds, such as churchyards. Here, it marks the entrance to our favourite green space🍃

Escapees? Not quite! Our sheep and goats have had a trip outside their paddocks, and a wander around the farm 🐑 This is to help harden their hooves on top of routine trimming! Overgrown hooves can cause pain - exposure to different surfaces helps prevent this.

Between a lie down in the shade and a paddle in the pond, our ducks know how to keep it cool in this heat🦆☀️ What's your favourite thing to do in the summer?💚

Litter harms the planet and our park🍃 If you're visiting us this weekend and bringing food, drinks, or any other packaging with you, you know what to do once you're finished with it... bin it! #queensparkbrent #litter
