Welcome reception at 12:30 pm

Carriages at 3:30 pm

This summer lunch for members and guests will take place during the May half-term. This is a wonderful event in the old manor house at Leweston School.  Members will be greeted in the reception room and hall on arrival, having the opportunity to see the Lalique staircase and the 1930’s frescoes by George Sheringham before going to a splendid buffet in the light and airy 18th century drawing room. After lunch members are invited to take a guided walk around the historic chapel and magnificent grounds of the school.

The lunch will comprise a choice of two main courses preceded by a glass of Prosecco and accompanied by wine. Click here to view the menu.

The walk after the lunch is about 2.54 miles from the grounds and the area of  Leweston/Longburton, which at a very gentle pace should take about 1 hr 45/55 mins. Anyone who would like to walk should bring proper walking shoes/boots and walking sticks as the ground is quite rough in places. You may like to do a quick change of clothes in the school cloakrooms. There are three stiles but we could avoid these by road walking if necessary and we could also shorten the walk a bit. We could even just go into the orchard and look at the blossom on the apple trees, which hopefully will be fully out by next week – just a circuit around there if it was felt that people didn’t want to do more of a hike.

The minimum number for the event to go ahead has been reached.  Bookings are now closed.
