Christmas Farmers Market

We are delighted to be hosting a Christmas Farmers Market on the Saturday before Christmas. Perfect timing for collecting cheeses, organic vegetables and an array of delicious goodies. Open from 9.30 am, free car parking.

Painting & Craft Courses 2009

Due to the development works in 2009 we are unable to run our annual painting and craft courses programme. Part of the development is a purpose built workshop, built on the ground floor. The opening date is summer 2010, and we will then operate a 12 month calendar of activities, including courses and workshops.
