Welcome to
The Kennels’ Calendar of Events I am delighted to share with you our first chapter of exciting events for 2016 to see you through until spring. Christmas may now be but a distant memory, however, to banish those winter blues, we have an array of events to keep you entertained between February and May. There is certainly something for all occasions, with events planned for the most romantic weekend of the year, including Valentine’s Day with Ballroom Dance classes and a flower arranging class for the perfect Mother-Daughter experience on Mother’s Day weekend. We also see a number of our most popular events making a welcome return such as The Kennel’s Quiz Night, culinary masterclasses, food tasting evenings and musical delights. Don’t forget that The Kennels is here for you to enjoy between events whether it be having a bite to eat in the restaurant, having a drink in front of the roaring log fires or soaking up the first spring rays of sunshine on the terrace. I look forward to welcoming you to your clubhouse soon.
