The Richard Jeffries Museum present Lazy Summer Sundays

Every Sunday from May 1st to September 25th, 1.00pm to 5.00pm.

You can laze about in our beautiful gardens, have a look around the museum, and enjoy free live music on just about all of the afternoons. The cafe will be serving cream teas, as well as the usual teas, coffee, and our delicious cakes. On some Sundays we have live music playing in the garden (stating around 2pm), plus we have our fourth annual Steam & Cream Teas event in July. The list is currently as below, but watch out as we book more events for the remaining dates.
