On the 29th June 1938 Retford gained, what we now fondly describe as "the jewel in the heart of the town", the beautiful Kings' Park.

Now, some 8 decades later, there are exciting plans afoot to mark Kings' Park's 80th Birthday.

Bassetlaw District Council, in partnership with EES Showhire and supported by Retford Business Forum, Retford Civic Society and other bodies, are inviting everyone to join them in celebrating the 80th Anniversary of this outstanding, national accredited, Green Flag site.

Feet up with a cup of tea and browsing through a copy of 'Made’ magazine just after Christmas, I was contemplating how inactive I had become.  I spotted a small piece on Nordic Walking.  And that was exactly the inspiration I needed!  I dusted off my poles, rang the number provided and before I knew it I had booked onto the first Nordic Walking session of the New Year.

Have you ever seen that local ‘brown road sign’ and thought ‘the what murals?’  Yes, me too.

Firstly, how is it pronounced?  Well, through sneaky research I have it on good authority that it is pronounced ‘Trakwair’ and secondly what are they?

We’re very proud and thrilled to reach the finals of the North Notts Ambassador of the Year Award at the North Notts Business Awards 2018.  Woohoo!
