Summer at Strawberry Hill

On 20th July 2013 from 11am to 5pm  Strawberry Hill, the Gothic masterpiece built by Horace Walpole (the author of the first official Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto) is holding a family fun day (this will be the start of their school holiday programme).

The Fan Museum of Greenwich is loaning the estate examples from their wide collection which are sure to be inspirational for all the children whilst the gardens will offer a family trial, bug hunts and storytelling in the Willow Grotto.

The Royal Richmond Archery Club are visiting to give the children the opportunity to their hand at this ancient form of hunting.

For the adults there will be jazz music performed by the Richmond Music Trust - which can be enjoyed whilst partaking of a picnic!

July also sees the Sewing Bee making 18th century costumes for children to try on ... volunteers are much needed.
