Tour de France comes to Renishaw

Last weekend, Tour de France fever hit Yorkshire as the race passed commenced in the county for the first time.  Never ones to miss out, we played our part in the proceedings as a Belgian TV show, Vive le Vélo used Renishaw Hall as the backdrop for their filming.  The crew made quite the focal point for our visitors - and staff -  as they set up their complicated looking equipment on the Middle Lawn behind the house.

It all made for an exciting afternoon, although we do think that Renishaw probably stole the show!

That isn't all that has been happening here, as we gear up for the second of our Fair Weekends. The Food and Craft fair on the 9th August is coming together nicely with a lovely selection of stalls offering everything from cakes, gourmet marshmallows and raw chocolate to wood turned products, paper crafts and shabby chic gifts, to name a few!  The Specialist Plant Fair on Sunday 10th is also set to be as popular as ever.  We will also host a Strawberry Tea event to raise money for Breast Cancer Care on Thursday 31st July between 2pm and 4pm which should be a fun afternoon, with much planned to entertain visitors of all ages.
