Highfield Park Trust holds its Annual General Meeting every September in order to conduct its formal business. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Our fun and traditional celebration of English Apples.
There is something for everyone at our Sunday afternoon event.
You could just come along and listen to a local band whilst indulging in homemade cake with a cup of tea or coffee or run round with the younger members of the family with Apple based games such as apple bobbing, Hunt the Apple and many more.
We have Apple juicing displays and our local bee keeper if you want to find out more of what is around Highfield Park.
But also the opportunity to support Highfield Park with the purchase of its Apple Juice from the orchards of Highfield, Cell Barnes and Hill End, the legacy of the two hospitals on the site.
“Where the Wild Things Are” is a talk given by a speaker from Herts and Middlesex Widlife Trust to introduce you to our local wildlife.
Refreshments will be available on the night.

The Bug Hunt, takes place on the 30th October.
Join us on the hunt to find some wooden bugs hidden around the park and answer questions on the creepy habits of insects to win a suitably themed prize.
Join trustees for a delve in to the history of the park. This year it will concentrate on the time St. Bartholomew’s Hospital spent at Hill End Hospital during WW2.
