A new plan for a permanent Secret Garden at Thornton Hall aims to enhance visitor experiences and replace the temporary marquee.
Thornton Hall: There’s an exciting new plan for a permanent Secret Garden at Thornton Hall Country Park. This spot has been a hit with visitors, and the new building will replace the temporary marquee that’s been there since 2021.
The marquee was set up during the pandemic and has become a key part of the park. It’s used for family fun during the day and hosts adult events at night, like live music and comedy shows.
But the marquee has its downsides. It has to be taken down every winter to avoid damage from the weather, which has cost a pretty penny in the past. The new building will be sturdier and designed to last.
The proposed structure will have a unique Dutch barn look, with a curved roof and timber cladding. It’s designed to blend in with the surroundings and won’t be an eyesore for anyone nearby.
Chris and Emma Harrison, who now run the farm, believe this new building will greatly enhance the visitor experience. It promises to be a big step up from the temporary setup, providing a cozy space for events and meals.
Overall, this new plan sounds like a win-win for everyone involved, making Thornton Hall an even better place to visit.
