Dig for Victory: War on Waste

After its successful first year last summer, The Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms’ allotment is back in St James Park from 22 May.

The organic allotment will be tended by school groups and community volunteers.  There is an apiary; a wormery; a bat house; bug hotels; and practical advice on how to recycle ordinary household items. There will be a family weekend launch on 24 and 25 May;  ‘Make-do and Mend’ half-term activities from 27-30 May; and lots going on over the summer.
