Visits in 2021

 Burghley House on Sunday 22nd August.

​I hope to be able to organise a day trip to Burghley House on Sunday 22nd August.  Burghley is one of the largest and grandest surviving houses of the sixteenth century and a magnificent example of the great Elizabethan ‘prodigy’ houses. Conceived by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587, Burghley is a testament to the ambition and vision of the most powerful courtier of the first Elizabethan age.  The house has a large number of Old Master paintings and tapestries and well as excellent furniture and curios.  There is also a special exhibition to mark the 500th year since Cecil’s birth (which should have been held last year but was delayed due to the Pandemic). Further details about the house and its contents are available on their website - https://www.burghley.co.uk/
​

I don’t know the exact cost yet but it will probably be about £40 p.p. and the journey time by coach is about 1hr 45 min.  The feasibility of this trip and its price depends on the number of people that would go on it so please can you let me know if you would be interested, preferably by email to radlettartsociety@gmail.com and no later than the 1st July.   I will then confirm if the trip is going ahead and its price.  The payment will be needed by 1st August.
​We hope to be able to have our holiday to Shropshire in September 2021 details below.

September 19th to 22nd 2021
