The Inside Park

Recently we had a detailed consultation done on the trees surrounding The Inside Park by Holt Tree Surveys https://holt-tree-surveys.co.uk
Here is a short video that was made by him (not survey related) about what we have here. I think it's safe to say he loved our trees!
If any of our customers in our area have trees they may feel need surveying I would highly recommend Ed Holt, he's highly professional and has a very good attention to detail!

The Inside Park, Blandford. Dorset. A tree lovers joy.

On the subject of salutes to Bee Keeper Steve, on 7th January 2025 with the help of our tree surgeon, a risky Ash tree was felled by the entrance to the woods in the main park that contained an enormous bee hive within the cavity of the trunk.
Steve successfully collected THOUSANDS of bees which were in hibernation, transported them to "temporary housing" (at his home), nurtured them through the winter and then transferred them to the hives in the woods when the weather was better!

So this is a salute to bee keeper Steve who, yesterday, collected a colony of bees building a nest on one of our picnic tables in the main park!
After locating the queen bee and moving her into a bee box, the rest of the colony obediently follow. Absolutely no bees are harmed!
Steve keeps hives in our woodland and is the man responsible for our Inside Park honey which we stock in the shop.
He's an absolute legend and we're lucky to have him nearby!
If anyone does see a colony of bees gathering anywhere in/around the park please inform reception as Steve is quick to respond and can offer the bees a far more suitable permanent residence!

Here at The Inside Park we have an ongoing problem with circles of burnt grass from barbecues and firepits. We do ask that all types of both are kept 18 inches above the ground (and not on one of our picnic tables!). We have only been open for three weeks and burnt patches are already appearing.
We understand that it can sometimes be difficult to raise a barbecue/firepit higher so we have discs of wood especially cut to put under your fire. Just ask at reception for one or if someone on a neighbouring pitch looks like they don't have this information please feel free to spread the word and together we can keep the grass lush for everyone!!
Thankyou

The Pizzamo trailer will be at our campsite this weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 4pm to 8pm on pitch 7.
They will also be on site on three dates in the May half term, Saturdays in July and August.
They take advanced orders, card payments and cater for vegans and wheat allergies!

Today we have reopened for camping!
We would like to introduce our latest addition to our play park, we give you "The Cyclone"!! 🌪️🌪️🌪️It is replacing "The Crows Nest".
Last year we had new play ground items installed for younger children and our wash rooms tiled, this year we have gone on to tile the back of the shop too.
Happy Easter to all and we hope to see you soon! 🐣🐥🥚
