Seeking interest for a casual Barn Party
An exciting opportunity has popped up to have a casual Summer Barn Party at a picturesque farm that dates, in part, to the 13th century situated in Surrey. The barn itself is a grade II listed building.
We are thinking of having a picnic or foodtruck, a cash bar, traditional barn games (sack race, skittles, ball in the baskets, ring toss, etc...), music and dancing.
Before we proceed with any bookings, our first step is to see how many of you would be interested in this kind of event, keeping in mind that there will be a small fee.
It would be an opportunity to escape to the English countryside and it would also be a family friendly event. Please email hildbede.alumni@durham.ac.uk if you are interested.
