There’ll then be time to experience the Georgian Classroom with Tudor games. Guides will be on hand throughout the whole visit.
When you reach the nearby Arden Hotel, you’ll be warmly welcomed and shown to your pre-booked table. Offering contemporary styling alongside sophisticated charm, it’s the perfect location for any occasion. You’ll be served a selection of sandwiches, before moving on to cakes, pastries, sweets, and homemade fruit scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Take your pick from a range of teas and infusions to complement your delicious treats.
