Yes, pretty much, but there is even more planned than last year, so you are welcome to enjoy both days if you wish. 

The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (UK) teaches Raja Yoga meditation as a way of experiencing peace of mind and a positive approach to life. The University provides opportunities for people from all religious and cultural backgrounds to explore their own spirituality and learn skills of reflection and meditation derived from Raja Yoga, which will help develop inner calm, clear thinking and personal well-being.

Across the UK we work with national and local organisations and community groups in such areas as inter-religious dialogue, youth programmes, prison outreach, social work and women’s and men’s groups. BKWSU (UK) was established as a UK charity in 1975 and charges no fees for any of its activities, being funded by voluntary contributions.

The University is part of a worldwide network of over 8,500 centres in more than 100 countries, the first of which was founded in India in the 1930s.

We are committed to making Peace in the Park as accessible as possible and great efforts are being made to achieve this. However, please be aware that this is a large park with some uneven terrain. In order to help as much as we can we will have some limited availability of golf buggies to help those in need.

We have disabled parking, just see one of the parking volunteers when you arrive.

Of course disabled toilets are available in the main house.

Picnics 

Since we have a nice tea tent and ice cream available we would encourage you NOT to bring any picnics. But if you do need to eat something more substantial we recommend the Cockadoo restaurant in Nuneham Courtenay village on the main road (A4074).

Smoking and Alcohol

Peace In the Park is a smoke and alcohol free event

Yes, but please be aware that this is a big place and there is quite a bit of walking involved, so those who find it hard to walk long distances would do best to set themselves up in a nice strategic spot to take advantage of the park and all that’s taking place on the day.
