Howbery Business Park hosting free Easter-themed trail

Howbery Business Park, located near Wallingford, is extending an invitation to the local community to join the free Easter-themed trail, which will be available until Friday, April 10.

This year, the park’s popular animal trail has returned with a festive twist.

Each resident animal and bird on the trail has been given a makeover and is accompanied by a special guest, the Easter Bunny.

The animals were painted by local artists Nishchay and Neha Tiwari.

Nishchay, in his professional capacity, works as a research scientist with HR Wallingford, the organisation that owns and manages the business park.

Meanwhile, Adam Huxley created the wooden animal cut-outs in HR Wallingford’s workshop, using leftover scrap wood from building scaled models of coastal developments.

Visitors can explore the park and pick up free trail maps from the Manor Café between 8.30am and 4pm on working weekdays.

However, the café will be closed over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, from Friday, April 3 to Monday, April 6.

The organisers have requested that children be accompanied for this free event.

Howbery Business Park, known for its 36-hectare grounds, including riverbank, woodland, and grassland, is owned by HR Wallingford.

The park is open to the public on working weekdays, offering various amenities such as a children’s nursery, gym, yoga studio, and wine merchants.
