For additional adventure we can weave in some energising singing while making a contribution to the education programme of the The Grange Festival and for the foodies we can give you an insight into growing English Sparkling Wine or finding truffles. We guarantee superb, generous, locally sourced food. We can tailor experiences to suit your budget - whether an excellent picnic and a stunning walk around the Park, a presentation in the auditorium, a delicious lunch for 500 or team games on the terraces we have - we’ll be honest if we don’t think we can do a good enough job for the money.
