The bus that takes visitors to Normanby Hall Country Park on Saturdays will continue in November and December due to its success.
The service, which launched in March 2024, was due to stop on 31 October, but now people will be able to catch the bus to the attraction throughout the festive period where there are lots of exciting events planned. They include:
- Deer feeding on 30 November and 7, 14 and 21 December.
- Wreath making on 30 November.
- Breakfast or afternoon tea with Santa on 30 November and 14 and 21 December.
- Christmas Market on 7 December.
People will be able to catch the bus until 28 December 2024.
The bus leaves Scunthorpe Bus Station at 9.25am, 11.25am, 1.25pm and 3.25pm and picks up from Normanby Hall at 12.25pm, 2.25pm and 4.25pm back to Scunthorpe Bus Station.
This is an extension of service 4, which will include Normanby Hall Country Park and bring people in from Brigg, Broughton, Timberlands, and Ashby. Service 4 connects at Brigg with service c4 so gives options for people from other places to visit Normanby Hall.
Cllr Tim Mitchell, cabinet member for connectivity, said:
“I am delighted that we have been able to extend the bus service for Normanby Hall Country Park. It has been a huge success since it launched back in March with hundreds of families using the service to travel to the popular attraction.
“It has been many years since there was a direct bus service to Normanby Hall, so it is great to see what a difference it is making. Now even more people can enjoy the wonderful events, family friendly activities, beautiful gardens, the region’s only Go Ape, and much more.”
