Olympic Torch Comes To Writtle

Hylands Park has been announced as the venue for the Essex overnight stop for the 2012 Olympic Torch relay.

The Torch relay will arrive on  6th July 2012 as it tours the UK for 70 days ahead of the London games.

Between 10,000 and 15,000 people are expected to attend a "community celebration" at the 574 acre (232 hectare) park.

The "community celebration" will be held during the afternoon before the torch arrives in the evening. The evening will conclude with the finale of a cultural Olympiad event called "Sparks Will Fly", which is being put together by artists and groups from across Essex.

 

  
     
 
       

Writtle CARDS next production is

 'The Glass Menagerie'

by Tennessee Williams
 
Performances commence at 8pm at Writtle Village Hall from Thursday 2nd to Saturday 4th February 2012.

 
Set in St Louis, Missouri, well into the depression of the 1930s, The Glass Menagerie is a "memory-play" about the Wingfield family, told through the memories of the eldest Wingfield child, Tom.
The Glass Menagerie was Williams's first successful play, winning the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for it's premiere Broadway production in 1945; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights.

While you are visiting Hylands Park take the time to

enjoy the tranquility that the 574 acres of parkland has to offer, including recreational ancient woodland, grassland, lakes, ponds and gardens and of course the fantastic "Stables Tea Rooms"

 

The stable block has been beautifully restored and there is now a very well stocked second-hand book shop, a gift shop and a tea room. But – the best part is that there are still horses in the stables. Hylands Park uses two beautiful Suffolk punches to work the land – and one of them was in the stables for visitors to admire. And make sure you go up to the first floor to look at the jewelry and the art gallery!
