Dizzy Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just came across this.... An American Civil War re-enactment this weekend at Walton Gardens (Fri 7th to Sunday 9th). I've not seen it advertised anywhere and it's not on the council events calendar either.... so no idea if it's free or you have to pay. Does anyone know ? http://www.waltonhallandgardens.com/walton-hall-and-gardens#!__walton-hall-and-gardens/events/vstc4=american-civil-war-society PS I know it should probably be in the events section but thought more people would see it here (as some may never venture out of their comfort zone sections) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I can't find any other information on the event Dizz, it's not far to go to have a look!, I can't see them charging entrance to the park as it's a public place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I went on that site Wolfie also the civil war site and couldn't find information regarding free or charge on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thank you Wolfie.... but that's the same link I posted Algy, although its a public park they were charging aroung £4 ? a person to get into the food festival the other weekend which is why we didn't go to that so I wondered if maybe they were charging for this too. I'd just like to add that I realise that the Walton Gardens bods are trying to raise money to fund various things and I believe they are now also trying to restore the old greenhouses (glass houses?) and they have cleared out the years of overgrowth already so not knocking them for charging entrance on some things.... but in the case of the food festival it would have cost us £20 plus parking charges so it seemed rather expensive especially as we would have spent even more money on nibbles and food stuffs once we'd got in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 So Diz, assuming one can get a space on the car-park; will one have to cash an ISA in for the day out?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I've no idea Obs as I still can't find out if it's free to get in as no-one seems to know. I guess as it doesn't say otherwise on their web page it must be free then or a lot of people might be a tad frustrated PS Plenty of car park space there as they have a huge overspill car park (field) at the side of the main car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I hope they are not charging after all this free advertising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
