Attention egg hunters! The greedy Dinosaur has stomped into Otford nearly a whole week early - talk about impatient! 🦖 To stop him from gobbling up all the hidden Easter eggs, we’ve moved the hunt forward. That means the adventure is live NOW, instead of starting on April 9th! So, sharpen up your sleuthing skills, and get ready to track down those eggs before the Dinosaur does! 🏃♂️🥚 Good luck, and happy hunting! 🐣🔍✨
The Friends of Otford Station are delighted to unveil the first phase of the transformation of the garden at the front of the Station. It was a big day for the volunteers - a new sign with walk leaflet dispensers has been installed and the garden has been weeded and mulched with chipped bark. The area is being opened up to encourage people to come in and walk around. Whilst the planting will not take place until late April or early May, the preparation is complete to make the station burst with colour in the summer! Huge thanks to Otford Builders Merchants for their kind donation of a ton of chipped bark and a ton of topsoil. Please do all you can to support this local business that contributes so much to our community with vital donations of materials as well as employment. Thanks also to the Darent Valley Community Rail Partnership for their funding support. Finally, THANK YOU again to our wonderful team of volunteers, if you’d like to join the team and can spare a couple of hours every few months please drop us a message or email station@otfordsociety.org.uk.
From 9th April until Easter Monday, you'll find eggs hidden all around Otford village in our EGGciting annual Easter Trail. They will be in shop windows, in the High Street and the Parade and hidden along the footpaths linking the two. Children under eleven will be able to report how many they've counted to the lovely people in Mille Fleurs, Ibbett Mosely (on the Parade), Fine & Country (near the pond) or at Yvonne's shop in Telston Lane - and claim a small prize. If you take part in this fun event and you find an egg, please leave it where you found it to ensure other children can also locate it. Good luck and have fun everyone!
