Hyde Park is ready for the Easter Weekend
By Patrick Markey-Bell
This year’s Easter weekend is far from ordinary for all of us but in classic British spirit the park ‘keep’s calm and carry’s on’. The birds are singing, and the Serpentine is glistening under the warm sun. As you can see from the photo, new life has already arrived in the park. This spring chick, spotted by Jason Taylor, was found waddling along the banks of the lake.
A message from Jason Taylor, Hyde Park Manager:
Dear All,
I hope that you and your families are all keeping safe and well.
Firstly, I wanted to give you a quick update on what’s happening in the Park.
As with most other businesses we have reduced the number of staff coming to the park to the bare minimum. From the Hyde Management Team, we have a maximum of 2 people coming into the park everyday and on many days, only one person. Those coming in are driving from home and straight into the park so there is no need for anyone to use public transport.
The Royal Parks have contacted us to provide an update on access to the Royal Parks, including access to Kensington Gardens and Brompton Cemetery, which will now close at 7pm daily from 29th March, until further notice.
The Royal Parks have provided us with the relevant links to their website where you can find out about access to the parks, opening times and how they are addressing the Corona Virus
It will be no surprise that the planned Friends events and AGM have been cancelled. But there is some good news about access to the Royal Parks
