Arrive early, as the gates open at 5pm and after toasting to the evening with your complimentary cocktail from Lyre’s non-alcoholic spirits and a handmade Belgian chocolate from Geldhof Chocolatier, why not grab a selection of delicious goodies from the artisanal mini-market on-site and enjoy them picnic style on the perfectly manicured lawn.
