Donkey Lane is included in the Norwich City Community Garden Festival which celebrates outdoor spaces managed by local volunteers. The festival takes place over the weekend of 25th/26th April and involves 34 community groups and spaces around the City. Donkey Lane is a well used footpath between Greenways and Newmarket Road and the banks and verges have been managed by EVRA since 2015. You can read more about the project at: Friends of Donkey Lane – Eaton Village Residents’ Association

The EVRA Friends of Donkey Lane Group will be having a work session to tidy up along the Lane on the morning of Saturday 25th April and you are welcome to come and join us from 10:30 till noon. We will be clearing brambles before they get too big along with the Goose Grass (also known as: Cleavers, Sticky Willy, Stick-a-Back, Catch Weed, Coachweed, Scratch Tongue) which is taking over some areas, and also other tasks.

We have some tools but bring work gloves if you have them and a drink. Dress for whatever weather we have on the day and be aware that you might get a bit mucky! Stout shoes would be useful for working on the steep banks. We will have a flask of hot water and tea and coffee and cups to make drinks and have a few biscuits.

We will meet at 10.30 on Donkey Lane behind the houses on Greenways, at the bottom of the slope from Wentworth Green.
