MARCH
These are a few ofour favourite March things
Spring has sprung! The daffodils are peeping through and the lambing days are afoot. Spring is the time to get busy, celebrate new beginnings and start to plan what easter eggs you can buy your little ones so that you can stuff your face with them beforehand. You can’t kid a kidder!
LET YOUR
ADVENTURES
BEGIN
International Women's Day
International Women’s Day is Saturday 8th March. The aim theme this year is ‘Accelerate Action.’ More momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers that women face.
Shotover Estate Daffodils
The gates to the Shotover House estate open once again for the annual Daffodil Day which raises money for local charities. Be sure to book ahead as this is such a popular event and the daffodil show is absolutely stunning.
Lye Valley Nature Reserve
The frogs will start to arrive at Lye Valley in March and it is a spectacular sight! You will see them way before you see them. Remember not to touch or remove them.
Sutton Courtenay Community Playground
It feels so long ago that we were tipped off about this community playground that had been given a huge refurb. We’ve been so many times and can confirm that it is still awesome!

FORGET TO
Look for signs of spring! These spotter sheet from the Woodland Trust are a great place to start.
