I have two invitations for you this month, both free to the people of Knebworth. Firstly, on Saturday 17th March we are hosting a Star Party – no, not a Celebrity Bash, an actual Star as in “twinkle twinkle” Party. Our very first Star Party is a unique opportunity to visit Knebworth Park at night and look at the stars with the Letchworth & District Astronomical Society. The LDAS will be setting up telescopes on the concert field and there will be talks in our new Lytton Barn (“An Introduction to Astronomy & The Night Sky”). Start time is 7.30pm and finish at 10.30pm. Refreshments will be available the Barns. The event is free, but people must pre-register by 10th March by visiting www.ldas.org.uk.
The second invitation is to our Parish Open Day on Sunday 25th March. To celebrate the start of our 2012 Summer Season, Knebworth House, Gardens and Park will be free to all residents of Knebworth Parish. The Park opens at 11am – please enter via the white gate by St Mary’s, and please bring something that indicates you live in Knebworth (i.e. a copy of this magazine). This year we are pleased to give a special welcome to Knebworth Primary School, who will be holding a Centenary Family Picnic in the Park. Happy Birthday Knebworth Primary!
