OPEN DAY Saturday 15th June 2013 11-4
Come across the water and see what we've been doing and help raise a little cash for good causes. A hearty welcome and good banter, music, inspiring walks and talks with plenty refreshments, coffee cake, lunch and tea! What could be better. If it rains it doesn't matter, wear a raincoat and wellies and shelter in the new house or in the big barn and polytunnel.
