Bexley Heritage Trust

2010 Events Programme


Bexley Heritage Trust is proud to present a varied and exciting programme of events at Danson in 2010.

This year Danson House offers an even more enticing series of events. We continue our popular series of ‘Lectures with Lunch’, including a talk on the Danson organ and its history and the welcome return of John White, in character and costume. Our fl ower arranging experts will be back to delight and inspire us. Other treats in store include indulgent evenings with Le Chocolatier, and a chance to sample a whole range of mouth-watering puddings – and take the recipes home with you.

 
New for 2010 are our Family Days we will be out in the garden on two summer Sundays with games and picnic boxes for the whole family to enjoy. Come and join in our Teddy Bear’s Picnic or take your place at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Other open air delights include theatre performances of Pride and Prejudice and The Secret Garden. We’ll also be hosting open air cinema, with an atmospheric screening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Our Christmas celebrations are now firm favourites. Four course lunches in the Breakfast Room and carol concerts in the library will really get you into the festive spirit!

 
Whichever of our events appeals, don’t forget to book in good time to secure your place, events often sell out. We look forward to seeing you at Danson House this year.
