2011 Hotel Events, Themed Breaks and Cookery Courses

Our Calendar of Events sets out the programme of themed lunches and weekends, cookery school courses, talks and entertainments at Swinton Park.

The two day cookery courses and Gourmet Weekends include accommodation, but in the case of all other events both hotel guests and non-residents are welcome to attend. Accommodation can be booked by guests wanting to book a day or evening course at the cookery school, and details of accommodation packages are given at the rates section of the cookery school pages on the website.

Further details on the hotel events are given at the Events page, and please also see the Cookery School pages for details about the courses.
