Theatregoers can also visit the theatre bar prior to or following the performance, where you can indulge in something sweet from chocolate to ice cream or treat yourself to a sweet tipple.
An array of soft and hot drinks will be on offer before and after an evening full of entertainment. Why head home after a magical evening when you can stay the night at the charming hotel? The grade II listed building is composed of stunning Victorian architecture and features a star-listed Orangery, a scenic view of the enchanting woodland, and luxurious period rooms offering guests traditional and modern comforts.
