- Our Exciting 25th Anniversary Project
2025 will mark the 25th Anniversary of the Millennium Green as the grand opening of the Millennium Green took place in June 2000. The Trustees have decided that it would timely to replace the timber fort on the Millennium Green and make this our 25th Anniversary Project.
Over the past few years the fort has been showing its age and has needed a lot of patching up to keep it in place and to keep it safe. Many of the timber post are rotting at the bottom and the overall structural integrity is degrading.
The Trustees have decided to remove the old fort and to replace it with a seating area on top of the remodelled mound so that everyone can enjoy the vista. There will be steps through the landscape leading up to the new stone and timber bench which will be circular so that small groups can gather together. A route will lead on through the landscape to a willow house with openings looking out at varying heights, before connecting back to the existing path.
Work should start on this project in November 2024 and should be complete in time for the 25th Anniversary in 2025.

- The Lansdown Open Gardens June 2nd, 2024
The weather was perfect for this year’s Lansdown Open Gardens event and we had a record number of over 400 visitors looking at all the wonderful gardens.
The Plant Stall on the Millennium Green did a roaring trade and for most of the afternoon the St. Stephen’s Centre was packed with people enjoying delicious homemade cakes and teas.
Overall the event raised a substantial profit that will go towards the upkeep of the Millennium Green.
