Earlier this month, Westcombe Woodlands hosted another delightful Sunday afternoon open day that welcomed around 70 visitors to come and explore our local
community woodland as part of the annual Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice events.

While most other entrants are “traditional” gardens with abundances of flowers, shrubs and landscaped terraces, the Westcombe Woodlands is more wild and
natural in its charm.

We were fortunate with good weather and the event offered an opportunity for local residents to come and explore the natural beauty of the area. As usual, visitors were treated to a selection of delicious home-baked cakes and refreshments. The money raised by selling refreshments and ticket sales was around £100, which added a meaningful purpose to the day’s enjoyment. Committee members were on hand to share insights and knowledge of the woodland which we hope will create further engagement and deepening everyone’s appreciation for our site’s heritage. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere encouraged people of all ages to explore, learn, and connect with nature.
