The Coach House will be open, displaying the history archives throughout the old stables.
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.
Extensive care has been put into the preservation of the buildings - so we love to share the experience of yesteryear with visitors.
We are open to the public and entry is free! There will also have some unique entertainment on these afternoons, follow us on Facebook to keep up-to-date.
We look forward to seeing you there!
