NATURAL WOODLAND

Unfortunately Mayflower Wood is just that a wood and there are no footpaths at present suitable for wheel chair use, but watch this space we are hoping to make it more accessible soon.

Past Events

Four hundred years on from when the Pilgrim Fathers started their journey to America, visitors to Mayflower Wood gathered for a day of outdoor events and activities. The weather was kind, seeing the wood basking in sunshine as families came from far and wide to have a go at archery, and chance their arm in tin can alley and other traditional games.

Amongst the special attractions was a stall from Immingham Museum, which gave visitors a rough guide to who the Pilgrims were and what they were fighting for, through a carefully researched exhibition. On display were garments which had been recreated faithful the original designs as well as some typical objects found in the period.

There was also a re-enactment exhibition, where kids and parents could go and get a taste of what life would be like back in 1608, as well as asking the characters questions about what it was like to live life as a Pilgrim.

Entertaining as well as educational, the Pilgrims Family Fun Day proved a great success, and raised over £800 for KAAG (The Killingholme Area Advisory Group) for the benefit of the local community.
