Our condolences

Everyone at Nene Park Trust sends their heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family on this sad occasion of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Nene Park Trust will be honouring the bank holiday on 19th September for the state funeral. The Visitor Centre, Gift & Farm Shop, Nene Outdoors and both cafés will be closed as a mark of our respect, however our Parks will remain open for all to experience the healing benefits spending time outdoors can bring.

A book of condolence for those who wish to leave messages and tributes to the Queen has been placed in the Ferry Meadows Visitor Centre, which will be open from 9am to 6pm daily, with the exception of 19th September. You can also send a message of condolence online here: www.royal.uk/send-message-condolence

A selection of messages will be passed onto members of the Royal Family, and may be held in the Royal Archives for posterity.

Our thoughts remain with the Royal Family and everyone around the world mourning the loss of our remarkable and devoted Queen.
