The other night whilst "surfing" I found information that indicated that Wentworth Woodhouse is currently doing a few guided tours. I called up the next day and managed to get Mr H and I booked on one nearer Christmas (when mince pies and mulled wine will be served too!!). I had to call in this afternoon to pay for our tickets to secure our places. "Where about's should I come to pay" I asked.
"Just come to the front door" they said. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
So we have been and paid for our tickets and we cannot wait now. We are so giddy!!! As you know, up until now the doors have been firmly closed on this magnificent place and so we feel very excited.
They seemed to be hosting some "Hunting, shooting or fishing" party this afternoon and the downstairs staff were scurrying about preparing a meal - the smells were gorgeous. For a few moments, I felt that we had stepped into Downton Abbey.
This is more exciting than Christmas for me.
Sounds very exciting indeed! :)

Wow, what is that place? By the somewhat old looks of it, it looks historic and very important. And wine? Oh man, I wish I were there. Random thought: I've heard about mince pies before. Are they any good? They sound pretty good
ReplyDeleteThat's great, look forward to seeing more photos.
ReplyDeleteI can feel your excitement over here! How wonderful to be able to get inside your favourite building with the added bonus of mince pie and mulled wine - it will start your Christmas off very nicely. Hope you have a fab time:)
ReplyDeleteYour excitement is obvious. Good for you. Surfing the net can be useful. Looking forward to your report. These shots are excellent. Such a beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. I'm sure it will be really interesting. Jx
ReplyDeleteOoh the front door. Hope you can take photos, can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteAre you just a bit excited or what?
