There has been some great events for our guests and visitors this year -we had people visiting Durham cathedral to see the Lindisfarne Gospels in the summer, and more booked in to see the Lumiere light shows in Durham this next weekend -but we still have some vacancies for the Sunday. As well as being enthusiastic about gardens and having National Collections of plants here, we are also very lucky to have the Railway National Collection 15 minutes away at Shildon, which we and many of our guests have enjoyed visiting.
In February for 9 days, we are looking forward to a great exhibition celebrating the end of a year's 75th anniversary of the Mallard breaking the world speed record in 1938.
For the whole of that week we are planning an authentic 1938 railway menu for our 3 course evening meal for guests staying to visit the Locomotion exhibition, probably with me in a 1938 waitress outfit to serve it.
I shall be watching Poirot more closely for ideas to add to our dining room for the event, and look forward to hopefully having time off one afternoon to go and see it ourselves.
