This weekend saw the fourth year for Crow’s Hall Country Fayre raising funds for the combined benefice of seven churches
Having not been before, due to working flat out building this place, we thought we’d check it out. So glad we did! It’s a traditional country fayre with stalls and demonstrations held in the 16th Century Granary/barn, modern granary and grounds. Crows Hall is simply stunning as you’ll see from my photos
There was everything there from an Elizabethan Experience including ‘A Mummers Play’, Morris Men and a dance company, as well as stalls, games, Steam engine rides, archery, chainsaw demo (they were wise to not let me show them how it’s done!) and loads of equestrian demo’s and events
There was a horticultural show and local nursery’s were selling there so I was relieved of more money! We got some lovely new Buxus hedging to replace some of our struggling bits in our central Yin & Yang feature. We’ve also planted some large Buxus in the ‘eyes’ so it’s looking great now
There was a licensed bar, BBQ and teas and generally a great atmosphere
It’s in the most amazing location, high on a hill top above Debenham, just 4 miles from here. The approach is a long drive lined with oak trees. I thought I had a nice place here but it pales into insignificance when you arrive at this incredible historic home
We had a good nose around the gardens and spent a fortune in our heads on more features, including a formal vegetable garden, which is in the pipeline anyway
Other than hosting this annual event, Crows Hall hold Jazz concerts and Opera’s in their amazing long barn so it’s well worth going if you are staying here, or planning a trip to catch them and book a barn here to make a real weekend of it. For full details of events, check out the Crows Hall website here
They hold weddings at the Hall and are also part of the ‘Invitation to view’ where they open the Hall and Gardens on certain dates of the year – Details found here
