I'm struggling to find a village hall I like for the Enid Blyton high tea and came across this place: [url="http://www.stickwick.co.uk/"]reception idea[/url] Do you reckon I can get away with serving it in one of the grand reception rooms for the manor house? I got a quote for the weekend for the hire of all three houses on site and it's under £1500. So for that the guests could stay the night before and on the night at least without driving and the kids would have an adventure playground and farm to keep them amused and it seems such good value. Has anyone else done anything similar? I have 40 people and about 25 would be staying there, I like the idea of not having to charge them to tay but could ask for a donation towards it maybe? Ideas on a postcard please....
