Wednesday 6th March Afternoon Cream Tea at Longworth Hall
As the days begin to lengthen but there is still a chill in the air we thought it would be lovely to arrange a return trip Longworth Hall where they promise to have log fires burning in the fireplaces. They will serve a cream tea (or coffee) for £4.50 which you will pay for on the day. This was a very popular trip last time so book early to avoid disappointment. We will leave Ledbury at 2:30 pm and return around 5.00pm.
