Harron Homes marked National Picnic Month in July by donating a picnic table to Shipley Country Park close to our Shipley Lakeside development in Derbyshire.
The picnic table is situated close to the old Shipley Hall site within the country park, providing extra seating for visitors to make the most of the summer days while enjoying the varied amenities Shipley Country Park offers, including children’s play areas, a wildlife garden, fishing facilities and a cricket club.
National Picnic Month celebrates the history of this activity which was brought into popularity by the British aristocracy in the 18th Century, and encourages everyone to rediscover the outdoors while enjoying some great food. Picnics have been used for many things throughout the centuries, from a simple family gathering, to bigger events bringing the local community together.
The old Shipley Hall site sits just three miles from Harron’s Shipley Lakeside development, which provides a stunning range of two-to-five-bedroom homes, making it an ideal place for residents to visit and spend the day exploring the extensive park land.
As well as a great location to access Shipley Country Park from, the development is ideal for commuters with convenient access to Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield.
Helen Robinson, Senior Sales Manager at Harron Homes North Midlands, said: “At Harron we are dedicated to building homes in gorgeous handpicked locations, and Shipley Park is exceptional. We were glad to hear that Shipley Country Park were happy to receive the donated picnic table and hope it encourages more residents to take advantage of the fantastic amenities on their doorstep.”
