As the year draws to a close, we will have welcomed thousands of visitors to…
Our venues are good to go!
Visit our wonderful Historic properties for a safe and enjoyable experience! Our venues hold the ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry mark, so guests can be assured that there are increased safety and cleaning practices in place. Our historic properties are currently closed to the general public, so groups can enjoy private access.
At Aston Hall we can welcome groups of up to 15 guests for a wonderful private visit and a delicious traditional cream tea. On arrival, your guide will host a presentation about the Hall and its impressive history. You will then have plenty of time to visit rooms in the Hall where staff will be happy to talk further about the many rooms and of course the Long Gallery, one of Britain’s best.
Group rate: £300 per group, up to 15 guests
At Blakesley Hall, we can welcome groups of up to 20 guests. On arrival, your guide will host a talk about the Hall and showcase some of its fascinating objects and artefacts of historical importance. Members of your group will then explore the Hall where staff will be on hand to answer any questions and talk about the rooms, the contents and the history of the Hall. To follow, a delicious cream tea.
Group rate: £300 per group up to 20 guests
…And to get in the festive spirit, during November and December your group can enjoy a Christmas activity, included in the group price at Aston Hall or Blakesley Hall.
Members of the group are required to stay in their household group or bubble for the duration of the visit, and will not be permitted to mingle with others. To ensure social distancing, the group will have to take refreshments and hall visits at staggered times. The tour format complies with government guidelines on social distancing. Your visit will be engaging, informative, relaxing and of course, safe.
If you would prefer an outdoor visit, why not visit Sarehole Mill? Whilst we can’t take you in to the mill, groups will still hear about its history , its owners, how it has changed over the years and how we use it today. We’ll also take you to the neighbouring Moseley Bog, not only was this area the inspiration for the famous stories of J.R.R. Tolkien, it’s a fabulous haven for nature and wildlife. With wooden boardwalks over the natural habitat, it is one of the city’s hidden gems.
We can accommodate groups of 12 people for a fascinating experience that will last around two hours. After an informative and engaging guided walking tour, you will have a cream tea or freshly made pizza at the Mill, either in the courtyard or in one of our covered spaces.
Group rate: £12.50 – £15.50 per person (dependent on catering choice)
All visits are available from Wednesday to Friday.
The Mill itself is currently closed to the public.
