Visited for the annual living crafts fair, which is an absolutly fabulous day out . There is so much to do and see, that I have a 4 day ticket and going back tomorrow.
I had a delightful tour of the gardens and got to see the old kitchens, and part of the Old Palace and saw some Real Tennis being played.
We had a short tour led by our guide Dermot who was truly magnificent. He was quite the historian and I believe a man who really loves his work. Dermot - you're a star.
I'm disabled and had the most incredible mini tour from Neil, the golf buggy driver! He took my friend and I right round the grounds whilst giving us a fascinating history lesson! What an asset to the provision he is. Thank you Neil. 😊
We really enjoyed our visit to the Old Palace. Dermot was a very entertaining and well informed guide. It was an absolute pleasure to meet him. The grounds and gardens are lovely and we had a really enjoyable walk around. The only slight disappointment was the restaurant- my daughter bought a sandwich which had no mozzarella in it and when she took it back, was asked if she had taken the mozzarella out! This seems a strange way of apologising for selling her a sandwich that had the key ingredient missing. However, they did replace it and they were extremely busy - even at 2.30 pm, so I suppose mistakes do happen. Overall we had a lovely visit - my daughter wanted to say,’Thanks Dermot for a fab tour and for being so lovely’ so I have passed on the message!
Walked around the woodlands followed by the old palace talk by Dermot who was absolutely brilliant. His tour of the old palace and knowledge was absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent guide and story teller and I highly recommend doing this talk for anyone visiting Hatfield House.
We visited Hatfield at the weekend. We love the courtyard and looking at the beautiful old buildings.
We went on the palace tour and had Dermot as our guide. He was so fantastic. He was so passionate and knowledgeable and kept the engagement of our 2 children for the whole hour. He shared facts we had never heard before and made us want to know more. It was amazing to be inside a building where the walls had so many secrets they could tell.
We walked around the beautiful gardens and had a wonderful afternoon.
The main house wasn’t open but we will be back in the summer to see the ‘Rainbow painting’ that Dermot had spoken about.
