On Mother's Day (12th May) we will have a couple of wondeful artists here displaying their work:
Mike Ryan
Mike is a talented artist who resides in Foxton. He creates beautiful portraits on the spot and teaches art classes. He will be on site to do portraits on Mother's Day.
Rob Haakman
Rob has been a practising artist for 25 years. His quirky style uses a variety of mediums He will have a selection of his work to view and purchase on Mother's Day. With autumn upon us, the deciduous trees are stunning colours and leaves are falling. Pick up a guide to the several protected trees on the property, they are amazing specimens!
This is also a good time to view the venue if you are planning on holding a wedding or function. Feel free to approach our friendly staff for a chat or pick up one of the brochures from the foyer that contain all information on making a booking.
PS. Only half the house will be available for viewing on Mother's Day due to the hosting of Artisan Kitchen's High Tea, the main room upstairs will be unavailable. Apologies for this.
