If you would like to enhance your visit, on both days you can travel in the recently restored Great Eastern Railway Royal Saloon, built in 1898. The carriage was specifically built for Princess Alexandra, wife of the future King Edward VII.
We will be serving refreshments throughout the day in the Royal Saloon. In the morning we will be serving coffee and cake. At lunchtime we will be serving a Ploughman’s Lunch with a beer or a glass of white wine (non alcoholic alternative also available). In the afternoon we will be serving Alison’s Cream Tea with or without a glass of prosecco.
