History tour for Open Age

On 11 October, The Friends organised a second tour for members of Open Age. This time, Blue Badge guide, Rowan Freeland, entertained his audience to facts and intriguing stories about Holland House and the families who had lived there. We devised a route that made wheelchair access possible, with regular stops where there was seating to listen to Rowan in comfort. Ewa Donnachie, Outreach & Engagement Coordinator for Open Age, shared the very appreciative  feedback, such as “The guide was very good, mixing history with extra amusing tidbits, ending in the surprise revelation which was perfectly delivered. All very enjoyable. Look forward to the next time.”  

Look out for dates for our 2024 Blue Badge guided tours. The information will be on The Friends’ notice boards in the park, and on our website.
