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.
