Old Park Meadow joined forces with the Essex Wildlife Trust to host an afternoon tea and a very exciting birds of prey demonstration for the residents of care homes across Essex.

Residents were invited to learn about the Trust's charitable efforts and the exciting community events offered by Old Park Meadow. This was followed by a birds of prey demonstration, Eden Falconry put on a great show where the guests saw a Kestrel and Barn Owl show off their incredible flying skills. Eden Falconry also brought along a Tawny Owl and a European Eagle Owl.

To end the wonderful day staff and residents enjoyed a delicious spread of sandwiches and cakes. Delyse Jackaman, manager of Old Park Meadow, highlighted their ongoing collaboration with the Essex Wildlife Trust: "We knew an afternoon tea would be a perfect way to connect with care home residents. Thank you to everyone who joined us”.
