On Saturday 7th September from 10am – 4pm, The Hill in Stroud is opening its doors to the public as part of ‘Heritage Open Days’, a national festival of events. Heritage Open Days celebrate history and culture across England and give people a chance to see hidden places they may have overlooked.
This is a rare opportunity to explore the historic grounds and unique venue space that date back to 1634. Today the building is owned by the Stroud Masons and is open to the public for private event hire including weddings, parties, christenings, and corporate events.
During the open day you will have the chance to find out more about its history and visit the Masonic Temple, which is not usually open to the public. Inside you’ll be enchanted by the high ceilings, masonry regalia, and other must-see artefacts.
Berry Blue, The Hill’s award-winning in-house catering and event partner will be supplying pizza from a stone-fire oven for visitors. Plus, a selection of ice-creams from a traditional ice-cream trike and refreshments will be available.
There will also be a range of garden games on the lawn, fantastic for all ages.
No need to book for the open day, it’s free to enter and is sure to be a great day out for couples and families.
If you’d like to find out more about how to hire the venue for a wedding or private event, contact Berry Blue by emailing info@berry-blue.co.uk
