The Parks Trust has events across the new city to tempt you, and we’ll start with something you can really sink your teeth into – Flavour Fest.
Taking place at Willen Lake, this fun-time for foodies will deliver a range of street food stalls, and a bar will be available at the on-site cafe. Music will soundtrack your visit.

Entry is free – but parking charges apply. Flavour Fest runs on July 5 & 6, from 11am – 5pm.

Nature challenges are offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at Howe Park Wood (9.30am-12.30pm) throughout the school holidays, with each week offering a different theme, from winged wildlife to minibeasts and lots more in between.

An Inclusive Stroll at Ashland Lake (July 9) is designed for all ages and abilities with accessible routes and facilities ensuring everyone can discover some of the hidden gems of MKs green spaces, and the Trust’s Parkland Play sessions are back to keep children from being bored!
Each session – running from midday to 3pm – will deliver crafts, face painting, soft play equipment and various activities, including sports, lawn games, and sensory experiences.

The Community Ranger led events will be hosted at Oakgrove (August 6), Caldecotte Lake (August 13), Stanton Low Park (August 20) and Fairfields (August 27).

If you’ve ever wondered, ‘What did the Romans ever do for us?’ find out directly by delving into the new city’s ancient past, with a chance to experience Roman life at Bancroft Roman Villa (August 16, midday-4pm).

Travel back in time with a tour of the villa remains, take part in crafts and activities, join the Roman Army and interact with a Roman soldier.
Fancy building your own fort? Step forward and do just that, before knocking it down with a hand built catapult. Fun for families and children, and free to attend.
