From Dust till Dawn Tour & Lunch

Friday, March 31st, 2023 | 11:00am - 1:30pm
"Felt like I was in Downton!"
- Ashleigh


Travel back in time and join the ranks of the Cranbrook House staff on this tour exploring the vital role they played in running the estate a century ago.

Will the cook, a scorned lover with a temper, go too far? What happened when a housemaid dropped the contents of her plate? Who made more, the head gardener or the coachman?
