Here is another idea, our guests enjoy a visit to this local gallery 😍 Nicky

BECOMING opening Thursday 4 June 11am-4pm at Canwood Gallery.

The galleries are a hive of activity as we prepare for our next exhibitions.

This Thursday, BECOMING by Jane Tudge launches, an extraordinary journey through the seasons of a country garden on the Herefordshire and Worcestershire border, exploring growth, transformation and our deep connection to the natural world.

Through breathtaking photography, sculpture and immersive installation, Jane captures moments of emergence, beauty and change, inviting us to look more closely and rediscover the quiet magic unfolding in our gardens and landscapes every day.

Rooted in observation, wonder and the rhythms of the seasons, BECOMING is a celebration of nature's endless capacity to surprise, inspire and transform.

Don't miss the opportunity to view! www.canwoodgallery.org

… and less than than 10 minutes drive from Wharton Lodge or there is the No 33 of course 🚌😎

The sun is coming out for the weekend and we’ve got a catch of the day to match ☀️🐟

Super fresh flavours to make it feel like summer has already arrived…

Pan-fried fillet of chalk stream trout, braised fennel, charred courgette, buttered tenderstem broccoli and baby mid potatoes, finished with a roasted tomato & fennel sauce.

Fresh, vibrant, and perfect with a chilled glass in the sunshine 🍷
