Don Whillans Memorial Hut Closure Notice

Unfortunately, we’re sorry to let you know that the Don Whillans Memorial Hut is closed until further notice due to significant water damage caused by recent severe weather.

We’re currently working with the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, who lease the Hut to us, to assess the extent of the damage and determine the necessary repairs.

We’ll share further updates as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your understanding.
