Please keep to the arranged area, there is also a working farm on the property and we cannot guarantee your safety. Please do ask a staff member before exploring areas for any photography. No damage or alteration can be done to the grounds including digging in the Lawns without permission, entering the gardens without using the paths and nothing can be attached to the walls of the house both inside and out without consultation. Any bands or loud music must stop at midnight.

No restrictions! If you want to explore more of the property beyond the hired venue, please do get in touch with a staff member.

Reasonable care and consideration of the surrounding properties and farming community when playing music must be taken into consideration. All loud music must stop at midnight.
