April marks five years since the Grow Cook Learn charity took over the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre from Shropshire Council. The charity’s chair of trustees Charles Edwards explains, “Above all, we wanted to use the Centre to deliver the charity’s passion to connect people to the rich outdoor world around them; to enable visitors to enjoy experiencing, discovering, learning about and being inspired by our Shropshire Hills’ food, landscape, wildlife and history… we feel the seeds we planted five years ago have germinated and we’re now ready to grow something great and sustainable for the future.”
Next up are two Roman-focused workshops for primary-age children: Remarkable Romans from Monday 15 to Friday 19 April and Monday 22 to Friday 26 April, which will give you a flavour of Roman life; and remarkable Roman Cooking on Tuesday 16 April at 10am – bake some Roman delicacies for yourself!
