We are so lucky to have such a proactive Chairman in Hopwood. His ambition for the Hall and the Hopwood Foundation Friends is incredible!

I had an amazing time at Alnwick Castle learning about their successful business model and how we can apply it to Hopwood Hall Estate. They offer tours, education and have been a major filming location for Downton Abbey & Harry Potter-- perhaps you recognize this location from the broom race! 😀

It has been brought to our attention that an imposter profile has been set up and has been making attempts. We are involving the police but please be aware of this potential crime. Thank you!
