Parish Cake - Spring 2020

sponsored feature
NURTURE YOUR SOUL AND ENHANCE
YOUR WELLBEING
Lend your voice and join our pop-up choir to
help celebrate spring and the National Trust’s
125th anniversary. A four minute anthem will
pass along a wave of song across National Trust
properties in the South East, with lyrics inspired
by supporters.
Spring Song Choir – Saturday 16 May, 8.30am-
11am (free event but booking essential)
Or stride out at sunrise with our rangers to
hear the dawn chorus across the estate. Their
knowledge will take you to the special places
with the best views and you’ll learn how to
identify some of our most iconic bird species by
sound and by sight. Pull up a chair in the tearoom
afterwards for a full English breakfast and a
tea or coffee.
Dawn Chorus Walk – Wednesday 27 May, 6am-
9am, £18 per person (booking essential)
SPRING DELIGHTS IN THE SHOP
New seasonal ranges are bringing a
fresh look and smell to the shop. From
grapefruit and lime candles and reed
diffusers, to spring scarves and accessories
and new crockery inspired by the lush
healthy foliage lining the streams at
Nymans. Browse the shelves for this
season’s new arrivals or pick up a pot of
National Trust jam or a tasty selection of
biscuits.
TASTY TREATS IN THE TEA ROOM
Have you tried the scone of the month
at Scotney Castle? As well as the fruit
and cheese varieties baked in our kitchen
every day, there’s a seasonal scone each
month to tempt you further. To make your
afternoon tea even more special, why
not try a prosecco afternoon tea? They’re
available every afternoon in the tea room
and will certainly add a sparkle to your
afternoon.
LEARN A SKILL, INDULGE
A PASSION
If one of your resolutions for 2020
was to learn a new skill, then why
not consider a workshop at Scotney
Castle? We have a variety on offer

using the garden and meadows as
their inspiration. Classes are small
and pre-booking is essential on all
of these workshops.

keep young, inquisitive minds
occupied come May half term.
