I’m speaking at a lunch event at Middlethorpe Hall, near York, for Historic House Hotels on 21 February. It is one of the beautiful National Trust properties where you can not only admire the house and gardens but dine, stay overnight and even take a spa, if that’s what you fancy. It’s hoped these events, also held at Hartwell House & Spa in Buckinghamshire and Bodysgallen Hall & Spa in North Wales, will hnot only attract new visitors to National Trust properties but also enhance the experience of those already familiar with them. So if you’d like to enjoy a very good lunch in magnificent surroundings and hear a talk about an equally historic, if rather less grand establishment – Britain’s highest inn – here’s the link: https://middlethorpe.wearegifted.co.uk/neil-hanson-talk-21-feb-2024
