FIVE kites above the garden of the hall today, when we only occasionally see the odd one at the far side of the park. Any idea (beyond a lamb dinner) why the sudden influx? @philcollins54 @PeteBacheTheDon @KeithAslett @BelvideBirda

Mink in your garden, or have you spotted them nearby? An invasive species, they are intelligent and adaptable predators which can cause problems for some of our native and migrant bird populations, as well as other small mammals. Please tweet @south_staffs with any sightings!
If you've spotted any American Mink in South Staffs please let us know as we are keen to understand the distribution of mink in the area. Since the 50's & 60's they have spread across Great Britain, having a devastating effect on our native population of sea birds & water voles

Hello everyone! Apologies for the lack of communication. As you may already know The Bushcraft Show is looking at staging an event at the end of this summer 2021 with more exciting news and solid updates to follow very shortly.
CANCELLED - SNOWDROP SUNDAY
It is with great regret that we have decided to cancel this year's Snowdrop Sunday due to the ongoing pandemic.
This decision was not taken lightly, and we hope to see you all back at Chillington Hall very soon, and in happier circumstances.
Claire was inexplicably excited to find these mystery objects in a cupboard. No one else was.......
She knows what they are? Do you?? clue - they were found in the old dry laundry!

CANCELLED Snowdrop Sunday
In view of the forecasted storm conditions due on Sunday, we are cancelling Snowdrop Sunday.
Our park and gardens are full of mature trees, and we must remain sensible of the threat posed by falling twigs and branches in high winds. #StormCiara

Meet the Giffards! Lovely Caroline (1802-1841) left an unhappy marriage and gained custody of her children at a time when that was almost unheard of. When her furious husband turned up at Chillington, the Giffards and their staff chased him away! #independentwoman

We're taking group bookings for 2020! If you fancy a tour of the hall, a ride on a tractor and what's been described (by a very discerning WI member) as 'the poshest ploughman's lunch in Staffordshire' get in touch! All this and a cuppa for just £25 a head #getthekettleon
