In 2018 we're celebrating the life and achievements of Fanny Boscawen, the first ‘Lady of the House’.

We’re embarking on a series of events at the home of this pioneering woman.

This autumn, we're building up to the spookiest, scariest day of the year with a Halloween half-term full of ghoulish goings on and pumpkins that go bump in the night. Join us for 3 different Halloween themed activities over the course of the half-term holiday, plus all of your usual favourites.
