GRIM’S DYKE WEEKEND
Join us for an exclusive break at Grim’s Dyke, London’s premier country house hotel and the former home of Sir William and Lady Gilbert, for a delightfully different way to celebrate the New Year!
Steeped in history, Grim’s Dyke is a Grade II listed building set in forty acres of beautiful formal gardens and tranquil woodlands, yet just twelve miles from the West End.
We have a fabulous weekend in store with outstanding musical entertainment from our professional opera stars, including Simon Butteriss and Rebecca Bottone. Local G&S Society Abbots Langley will join us for a concert performance of The Pirates of Penzance with many opportunities to join in. The National Festival Orchestra’s String Quartet will be there, and we will learn about the extraordinary life of operatic tenor Bonaventura Bottone, who has performed at many of the world’s leading opera houses.
We have a fabulous range of rooms available at this incredible hotel. If you are interested in an upgrade, please call us on 01422 323252.
