Who remembers when Chris brought in traditional shire horses from Operation Centaur to plough the meadow?
Gunnersbury on Screen!
Started during the pandemic, Chris’ virtual videos of the park brought a little bit of Gunnersbury into the homes of those who were unable to visit us. Rewatch Cornflower Meadow Tour here or visit our park highlights page for more.
