That was Heritage Open Days 2021
“Lovely garden,
knowledgeable volunteers,
couldn’t ask for more”
Thanks to David of Leamington Spa who left that particular comment for last weekend, and indeed, it sums up the weekend most aptly. We weren’t sure how the weekend would go, it was our first Heritage Open Days in two years. However we had a steady stream of visitors over the two days, rather quieter than in previous years but given the ongoing situation, just right. Thanks go to our volunteers who provided the same high quality experience as ever, and now, in costume!
We were lucky with the weather, the garden looked lovely, and the spinners and weavers provided demonstrations throughout the weekend.
We had some lovely comments, not only recorded in our Visitors’ Book but via social media:
“Thank you for a lovely tour. Your volunteers are wonderful and knowledgeable.”
“Really interesting to visit this morning. Thank you.”
“I can highly recommend it. A hidden gem just a short walk from the city centre.”
“I loved to hear about the story of the houses there, and my weaver son could have a go on a loom. It was worth visiting.”
That concluded our Open Days for this year. We hope to be open much more for 2022 – let’s raise a cup to that!
