Remembrance Weekend at Shuttleworth House

Remembrance Weekend at Shuttleworth House

Join us as we remember those who defended our country.

This Remembrance weekend, Shuttleworth House will open its doors to let you explore a range of history exhibitions - including the House's time as a convalescent home during both WWI and WWII, guided tours* from our hugely knowledgeable volunteers as well as make-a-poppy activities for the young at heart.

Our bar will also be open both days serving teas, coffees and light refreshments. 

On Sunday we will be observing a minute's silence as a mark of respect.
