Walk with a Fork is a fundraising event organised by Ormiston Children & Families Trust. This year’s walk will return to Helmingham Hall in Suffolk and you’re invited to join in the fun with a stroll around this stunning country estate.

Helmingham Hall's beautiful gardens incorporate a classic parterre flanked by musk roses, shrub and flowering borders and a fragrant rose garden.
