Join us for a Father’s Day Fishing and Fun Day, where Dads (and everyone else!) can try their hand at fishing in the beautiful historic moat guided by our friendly in-house fishing fans. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned angler or giving it a go for the first time, it’s all about unwinding and making memories.
In the garden, younger visitors can enjoy a classic game of hook-a-duck in the pond.
With beer tasting from Westerham Brewery, showcasing a selection of locally crafted ales and Ploughman's in the café, everyone will be thoroughly spoilt.
Suggested donation £3 for a 30-minute experience. Pre-booking is not required, just sign-up on arrival.
