The Endless Game — charity world-record bowls marathon

From 6am on Saturday 1 August 2026, two players step onto the green at Newark Town Bowls Club and start a game that doesn’t stop. Jamie Croft and Matt Noble are attempting a Guinness World Records title — the longest marathon playing outdoor bowls (singles) — aiming for 36 hours of continuous play and beating the current record of 32 hours 34 minutes. They’re doing it for Menfulness, a men’s mental health charity, because going the distance — quietly carrying on when things are hard — is something a lot of men do alone. Come down, bring a chair, stay five minutes or five hours. It’s free, it’s in Newark, and you’ll be part of it. Can’t make it? You can still donate and help them keep going

Pauper Picking

Take time to explore the kitchen garden and sample its harvest. Chat to our volunteer gardeners, dressed in costume as paupers, to learn about what we grow, how we grow it and historically what would have been grown in the garden. Pick up some useful gardening tips and recipes and take home freshly picked produce for a donation. Every donation helps support the care of the property.
