Why not bring a group to visit Blackwell? The house is a magical place
commanding spectacular views of the Lake District from the beautiful
garden terraces. We have free parking for your coach, a tearoom to

arrival, all groups will be welcomed and given an orientation of the

CATERING
|
|
We offer a choice of set lunches in our licensed tea room for pre-booked
groups. We are able to cater for 20 people at one time and therefore
require that larger groups divide into more than one sitting. There
are also group rates for morning coffee, cream teas or afternoon
tea, but to avoid delay in the restaurant, your food and drink MUST
be booked in advance.
Please
note: Food and drink cannot be consumed in the house or grounds
unless it is purchased on the premises.
|
|
GROUP
SIZE |
|
We
welcome coach parties of up to 50 people but ask that on arrival
you split into groups of no more than 25 to ensure greatest enjoyment
of the house.
|
|
CHANGING
EXHIBITS |
|
It
is always best to check which exhibitions are currently on show. If
your party wishes to see particular works from the collections, you
are advised to check they are on current display.
