What Our Visitors Say...

“It was absolutely amazing! The village looked so lovely. I love how everyone was involved. The tour of Southwick House was great, would’ve loved the talk to be longer. I think we might look to find out about visiting there again.”

“My parents & I had a wonderful day on Sunday. The tour of Southwick House was amazing & sitting in the Map Room is something I shall never forget – really quite moving. The villagers put on a wonderful display of 1940’s life, & the whole village looked splendid. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for hosting this wonderful event. We WILL remember them xx”
