A Grand Weekend on the Estate
The Estate Open Weekend (20th & 21st May) is almost here and – Hallelujah! – it looks like we’ll get Goldilocks weather: not too hot, not too cold, but just right (and dry underfoot). The forecast (at the time of writing) is for a weekend temperature range of 15C to 7C with plenty of sunshine, little wind and a negligible chance of rain.
We’re excited about the Estate Open Weekend and we hope some of our enthusiasm has rubbed off on you, our valued readers, followers and customers. Our team have worked hard to organise an extraordinary and unprecedented event for South Ormsby Estate. A dazzling range of talented and fascinating Wolds people will be giving up their time to amaze and entertain our guests over two fun-packed days.
From laser-clay shooting to art lessons, from butterfly safaris to stream-dripping, it’s all free-of-charge to Friends of South Ormsby Estate. Fancy a short bike ride? Low Carbon Louth have got you covered. Fancy giving fly-casting a whirl? The Lincoln Featherbenders & Flyfishers are on hand. Need help to find your inner artist? Rachel’s there for you. You can brush up on your photography skills and get your hips into Turkish dancing. Storyteller Keith Butters will be on hand to bend your ear and warm your heart. Click HERE to take your pick.
What, you might ask, inspired us to lay out such an ample welcome mat? For one thing, we love where we live and wanted to show it off. Chat with our local artisans and storytellers or walk our trails and you’ll soon see why. We also recently marked the 50th anniversary of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB, so it made spring 2023 the perfect time to showcase our region’s natural and cultural glories.
Our key motivation, however, was the simple pleasure of rewarding our many friends and followers with an abundance of Lincolnshire hospitality. We’ve committed ourselves to honouring our rural heritage while building for a better future where business, the community and the environment can thrive together. We couldn’t pursue this dream without your custom and enthusiastic support, so enjoy your Estate Open Weekend with our thanks.
