DOWN Memory Lane is a special event being held at Croome Park on Sunday (March 26).

Anyone with a connection to Croome Park and the surrounding farms and villages is invited to go along between 11am and 4pm and share their memories.

Volunteers will be on hand to talk to people and record their stories, so that a 'sound picture' of 20th Century life at Croome can be preserved for the future.

Visitors are also invited to bring along photographs of people and scenes at Croome, which could be copied for the archive.

All memories are of interest, particularly those of the 1920s and 1930s and the period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the Hari Krishna movement leased Croome Court.

The Friends of Croome will hold the recordings and copied photographs for public access. They will be used to produce leaflets and a booklet.

Anyone taking part in Down Memory Lane will receive a complimentary ticket for the National Trust-owned estate, which has been undergoing restoration since 1996.
