The Newly Created Discovery Zone in the Shop at the top of Box Hill

Do come and visit the exciting new Discovery Zone in the National Trust Shop at the top of Box Hill where there is something to interest all ages. Most obvious are the spectacular murals with their gorgeous colours created by the artist Helen Shackleton (www.wildmurals.com). There is also a fascinating video show made using old postcards which demonstrates very clearly what has changed and what has not and there are several interactive games for children. All the publicity has been positive and it is proving very popular. It is in fact the only information area in the National Trust which is combined with a shop. The project has been spearheaded and 50% financed by The Friends of Box Hill with the other half coming from Biffa to whom the Friends are most grateful. They are also particularly indebted to the hard work and close collaboration of Head Warden, Mark Dawson, Education Officer, Sarah Russell, and Enterprises Manager, Suzanne Taylor.
