"Our pre-bookable tickets are discounted too which makes it a perfect opportunity for people to treat their taste buds while enjoying our historic home and stunning grounds

and gardens at the same time.”

Other names and brands at the festival include Brockleby's Pies, Phipps Albion Bar and Fotheringhay Gin (made by Warner’s), Friars Farm and Whittlebury Bakery.
