The Hall itself is a family home, but a range of opportunities for engagement with our heritage are offered via Cotesbach Educational Trust (CET), a registered charity operating from nearby buildings including the Schoolhouse (Grade II) restored by way of a Heritage Lottery grant in 2012/13. Please refer to CET website for programme and Newsletter. Guided tours, workshops, and visits to the archive can be arranged.
Next door, the Stable Yard, is home to both residents and businesses focusing on the Yard Café, (open regular hours, please refer to website) which can also provide bespoke catering using fresh vegetables from the walled garden. Along with the Jason’s Butchers , O&Co Forge, Deloise pottery studio, and Idle Torque motorcycle apparel shop, the 21st Century story of this place is a dynamic, distinctive and constantly evolving one.
Free tours on Heritage Open Days; otherwise by arrangement via CET
