Strawberry Hill - 🍓🌻 Bringing in Spring: Opening times, home & garden festival and call for volunteers at Strawberry Hill 🌻🍓

Spring at Strawberry Hill

The New Season at Strawberry Hill House & Garden February has brought some exciting changes for Strawberry Hill... Spring is nearly upon us, meaning that change is afoot in the House & Gardens - beginning with our website. Work has now begun on bringing our 18th Century property into the 21st Century by establishing a stronger online presence and building a website as fabulous as Strawberry Hill itself. With this website will come wonderful new events, broader scope for fundraising campaigns and hopefully a larger audience. In this newsletter you will also find information about: Our new opening times. The Décor Café 2017 Festival at Strawberry Hill. Our new recruitment drive for volunteers. We re-open 2nd April   The House opens for general admissions on Sunday 2nd  April. Due to development of the website we are unable to take advance bookings until this has been completed. Until the completion of the website we welcome drop-in visits, however once this is running advance booking will be required.  Visit www.strawberryhillhouse.org.uk or our social media channels to check progress. In the meantime, find opening hours for April 2017 here   Can't wait until April?
