We visited this event on Saturday, and it was a delight.There was a good selection of nurseries outside, and in the property there was an art exhibition, various games, and an excellent pop up cafe serving coffee and cake.There was also two wonderful talks given by two very knowledgeable experts, for FREE! All in all an excellent day.
