Pop-Up Café & Open Gardens

Introducing Polly Ann’s

There are exciting times ahead for the Archive as work is now underway to create our very own café for visitors to enjoy. In the meantime however, we are delighted to welcome Polly Ann’s mobile country kitchen to our courtyard for some pop-up events during August and September. 

Polly Ann’s provides delicious, locally sourced, hot and cold food from a converted horse box and we can’t wait to work our way through the menu.

Polly Ann’s will be with us on the following dates: 

Thursday 4th August 2022, 2pm – 6:30pm (please note the gardens will close at 5pm). 
Sunday 21st August 2022, 12pm – 4pm
Tuesday 20th September 2022, 11am – 3pm  
Unless stated otherwise the gardens will close at the same time as the café. 

In addition to enjoying the Pop-Up café visitors will be able to experience parts of the incredible gardens here at Shilstone, namely the North-Eastern Terraces giving stunning views across the house and down into the valley, and the valley itself with medieval fishponds and water Grotto. Regrettably no dogs.
