Butterflies at Parke

An informal guided walk around the estate to explore these fascinating and beautiful insects. Learn how to identify Parke's species and find out how you can help to record the butterflies you see too. As we go we will record what we find to feed back into the Big Butterfly Count organised by the charity Butterfly Conservation. Butterflies are a key indicator to the condition of our biodiversity, so the more we understand the more we can help make a difference.

NT Live - The Misanthrope

By Martin Crimp After Molière Directed by Indhu Rubasingham Award-winner Sandra Oh ( Killing Eve ) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society.

Runtime 120 minutes Sandra Oh shines in a witty update of Molière’s Misanthrope - Sunday Times Killing Eve star kills it - Metro Sandra Oh brings heart, fire, vulnerability and comic timing - Guardian Oh and Chahidi are a joy together - Financial Times A playful reimagining of Molière’s classic satire - Stage We will have two screenings, an evening performance with subtitles and a performance without subtitles.

Halloween Glass Pumpkin Workshop | 17th October

Halloween Glass Pumpkin Crafting Your Way To A Pumpkin That’s More Treat Than Trick This Halloween season, skip the messy pumpkin guts and join us for a one-of-a-kind experience: crafting your own glass pumpkin! Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking to try something new, our expert glass artists will guide you through every fiery step. You’ll transform molten glass into a gorgeous, glowing pumpkin – perfect for adding a touch of autumn magic to your home. Ages 12+ are welcome (if accompanied by an adult), and no experience is necessary – just a love for some Halloween spirit! Spots disappear faster than sweets during trick-or-treat, so book now and create something truly unforgettable this spooky season. Why This Workshop is Special You’ll be able to choose from several colour options, including classic orange with a green stem, earthy brown, black, and white. This year, there are more colours available than ever. You can also opt to add a special material that creates a shimmering or iridescent finish when exposed to a torch flame at the final stage – just ask during the workshop. You’ll use an optic mould to form the pumpkin’s ridges. Blowing air into the glass creates the rounded shape. A second gathering of glass is then used to form the stalk, with frit added for colour. The stalk is applied to the pumpkin and pulled while rotating to create a natural spiral effect.
