Between May 31 and June 2, we’ll be taking over the Alvaston Hall Hotel for our big birthday bash. There’ll be craft sessions, a garden tour, a talk from our travel writer Neil McAllister, “Friend”-themed quizzes and games plus entertainment from Paul Da Vinci’s 60s/70s Explosion Show. All this along with Warner Leisure’s incredible food, comfortable rooms and facilities. Don’t miss your chance to join us!
