Meet farm animals in the lovely MERL garden
Event Navigation
Update: 16 August 2022
Please note: although the forecast is rather rainy, we’re still planning for this event to go ahead. Please do dress for the weather, as we anticipate the garden will become quite muddy, and space indoors is limited. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone!
Join us at The MERL to meet the Miller’s Ark animals and enjoy the garden
Did you know that interacting with animals is known to reduce stress? We are delighted to bring the farm to you in the museum garden with the team from Miller’s Ark Farm. You are welcome to bring a picnic and blanket.
- Cost: Please contribute what you can at donation points on the day
- Drop-in, booking not required
PARKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR ATTENDEES
If The MERL car park is full, you can use a special parking permit to park in the University car parks on Acacia Road adjacent to the museum, or White Gates car park off Crown Place. This permit is only valid for the Miller’s Ark event.
CURRENT PERMIT
Please collect a permit from reception at the museum. You can also download the current permit here.
If you do not display a permit, you may be issued with a penalty. We apologise for any inconvenience, but this solution means we can continue to offer free parking in the nearby University car parks. If you have any questions, please call 0118 378 8660 or email merlevents@reading.ac.uk
Parking is limited at the museum and although we do our best to help those who need to come by car find a space, we would always encourage you to use alternative means of transport where possible. See our Getting Here page for details.
