Our Bucks Black History Museum group invite you to share photos and the stories behind a special pair of shoes with Black History.

Everyone of us has a special pair of shoes, whether it is because they are beautiful, were worn on a special occasion or because they are super comfortable. Every pair of shoes has a story. They walked with you to your first interview or shared your happiest memories. We’d love to hear your stories and share them here on our website.

Explore and get messy at Black Park!

Join us in Black Pines Camp for some fun in the woods! We have a variety of activities for your Tot to go wild, including the mud kitchen, digging pit, water play, bug hunting, weaving, balancing and more.

Tots Go Wild is aimed at 2-4 year olds but as soon as your little one is able to walk independently they are welcome to come and join in at our exciting outdoor play sessions.

There will be one focus activity each week and other activities should always be child-led with the children being encouraged to choose what they would like to do to help them build on their self-esteem, confidence and independence. During October through to May we also have a fire which the Tots can have a go at roasting marshmallows!

Choose this ticket to casually book your child on as and when you want too. You can casually book each week or block book the full term to guarantee a place and receive a discount. Please head back to our 'what's on page' and click on 'Tots Go Wild - Block booking'.

Tots Go Wild takes place on most Fridays during term time throughout the year. Morning sessions run from 10:00-11:30 and afternoon sessions run from 13:00-14:30. We stagger the release of our tickets in line with the start of each new school term.

We go ahead in all weathers - unless deemed unsafe - so please dress appropriately!

Meeting point: Black Pines Camp (behind the picnic area, Foxley Copse). Just follow the 'Tots Go Wild' signs anti-clockwise around the lake from the car park - it is about a 20 minute walk. Buggies are welcome!

A refund will be provided where someone in the household has tested positive for COVID 19 or showing symptoms and are waiting a test result. Proof of a positive test must be provided. Refunds will also be made in the event we cancel the session for example due to unsafe weather conditions.

Join us for an inspiring evening with England Rugby’s Eddie Jones.

What does it take to become one of the most successful coaches in the world?

Eddie Jones is one of the most successful sports coaches of all time. From coaching three different nations to Rugby World Cup Finals and with a winning record with England of nearly 80%, Eddie Jones knows what it takes to lead and manage high performance teams.

What can sport teach us about leadership?****

For the first time, Eddie Jones shows just what it takes to be a leader in a high performance and high pressure environment and how these lessons can be applied to every walk of life, from coaching the U9 rugby team to leading a multinational organisation to simply doing your job better.

Have a voracious ambition to improve every day****

As he explains the High Performance Cycle of Success at the heart of his philosophy, Eddie Jones reveals the lessons he has learnt from Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola as well as from the founder of Uniqlo and Ron Adams from the NBA. He also gives a detailed analysis of his own performance as a coach as well as how he gets the best out of the players and coaches around him and what he saw in Tom Curry that no one else saw, which makes him think that he could be the next Richie McCaw.

Always start with the end in mind

Drawing on stories of nearly thirty years of coaching, including the 2003, 2007, 2015 and 2019 World Rugby campaigns, the full story of England’s 2021 Six Nations campaign as well as why it takes humour, humility and relentless curiosity to lead an eclectic mix of superstars from Maro Itoje to James Haskell, George Smith to Kyle Sinckler, to create teams that are relentlessly hungry to win, Leadership is the ultimate rugby book about what it takes to be the best.
