Venue:
Coleton Fishacre, Brownstone Road, Kingswear, TQ6 0EQ
Cost:
DGT members who are also National Trust members come free. Those who are not National Trust members, £15. Includes cocktails.
DGT members will be exclusively entertained at Coleton Fishacre, the country retreat developed by Dorothy and Rupert D’Oyly Carte with its Arts and Crafts house and the wonderful gardens in a valley stretching down to the sea. Features include a wide range of tender and interesting plants set around Arts and Crafts terraces, rill garden, and by the stream that leads down to the bathing place at Pudcombe Cove. As well as their involvement in the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan, the family also owned the Savoy Hotel and cocktails taken from the hotel cellar book will be served as we wander around the house and garden at a time when it is normally closed to the public. What could be nicer on a mid-summer evening? 1920s dress optional!
