We’ve had some very hot temperatures this week, and we, of course, hope for a lovely sunny day on August 6th. But just so everyone is aware, we have three stretch tents that will provide shade on the day if it is very hot, and please feel free to bring parasols, and anything else that will keep you comfortable on the day. There is plenty of space, so let’s use it, and have some fun!
See you all in 2 weeks 🙌🏼
Fancy a team building day drinking excellent craft beer and eating superb local food? Or have a large group for a hen, stag, birthday, bar mitzvah?? We’ve got you covered!
Message us for information on hospitality and group packages.
Cheers 🍻
