Burghley House |
Stately
food will be on offer during the August Bank Holiday at Burghley Fine Food
Market staged against the backdrop of one of
England’s grandest Elizabethan houses.
The
cobbled Courtyard at Burghley, on the edge of the Georgian stone town of
Stamford, Lincolnshire, will provide the stately setting for the free
admission event, a celebration of local produce. More than 20 local
quality food producers will set up stalls selling regional
and award-winning specialities ranging from home made cupcakes, cheese and
bread to vegetables and meat, creating a relaxed, but bustling market
atmosphere.
The House
and gardens will be open as usual, with self-guided tours of
the magnificent staterooms and huge collection of works of art in the
House, which has been the home of the Cecil family for over 400
years. For a splash of summer fun the family-favourite Garden of
Surprises offers a chance for youngsters to cool off amidst the 32 water
features of the Tudor-inspired ‘trick’ garden.
Fine
Food Market - open 10am-4pm; free admission; 01780 752451
