Shakespeare comes to Folly Farm Cottage

How many people can say that they have had their bathroom painted by a Shakespearean actor? One of our Villagers, actor Mark Carey, while resting between acting jobs takes on a few painting jobs. He recently painted the bathroom in the Orchard apartment for us as part of our ongoing maintenance works at the Cottage. He also spent some time painting our windows in the cottage to make sure that we maintain our four star gold award appearance.
Our annual inspection took place in May of this year and we were delighted to maintain the four star rating and to still be awarded a gold award for our service.

RSC theatre to reopen

The Royal Shakespeare Company have now reopened the redeveloped main theatre in Stratford. Pam and I had the chance to get a free tour around the new theatre prior to any productions starting and even managed to have a meal in the rooftop restaurant.
Tickets are going on sale very soon for the first production which will be the 'Scottish Play' - also known as Macbeth. This production starts on the 16th April and should be well worth a visit.
