Had a lovely visit a few weeks back from Kellee of A journey through life in Camden.

Kellee dropped in to discuss all things Dr Crookston, along with presenting us with one of Dr Crookston's original patient books from 1920 which we will frame and display at the home.

Kellee has launched her book "The Sharpe Farm" which we will have for sale at Dr Crookston's Estate during Unlock Camden on the 28th of September.

Kellee will also be at the Camden Museum during the day, providing some background about her book. Please support a wonderful person in our community, as she continues to research, gather and document important historical information and continually adds to the colourful tapestry of this region.

Hey Camden,

Come and support our new venture at Dr Crookston's 1880's Estate in the heart of Camden.

Our goal is to provide a unique setting for all local artists to be able to perform for our local community - think music, comedy, art, performance and so much more. Giving them a place where they are the focus.... showing their community what extraordinary talent walks amongst us.

Hand in hand with this, we also are working hard to bring unique and different experiences from near and far to Camden. Giving our locals the opportunity to try something different but close to home!

The final piece of the puzzle is to unlock this beautiful estate so as to share it with the community it belongs too. Giving everyone the chance to enjoy and marvel in it's splendour whilst helping preserve it for another 140 years.

Not only will we have our on immersive ticketed events but also have the ability to host Weddings, Corporate Events, Branding Shoots and so much more. We are also working with local groups to conduct Community focused days here too such as Unlock Camden!

So please come and support Dr Crookston's Estate by Staytime as we start our journey with the support of our dear friends Brookfield House Camden helping us launch our first event.
