Now if you ever plan to motor east, travel my way on the route that’s the best ...... all the way from Piccadilly to Clayton.
Well I know that it is never going to make a line to a song, but for those who haven’t taken the bus or better still the tram from town to Clayton you are indeed missing something, because there at the end of the journey is that gem of the east which is Clayton Hall.
I wrote about it yesterday and today there is more.
My old facebook friend Kay Simcocx tells me that “the hall is open on the first and third Saturday of each month 11am-4pm, is free to visits and there are history talks at 12 and 2.
The tea room serves home-made soup and cakes and gluten free can be made available, if notified in advance.
We also have a Memory Lane cafe on the first Monday of each month, from 10am-12:30pm which is also free to attend.
Visitors can chat and reminisce, and bring along their photos, newspaper cuttings or memorabilia to share and we have our Memories room and Clayton Hall/ Local History room open.
More info can be obtained by messaging me on the Clayton Hall Fb page, or emailing Lynn via info@claytonhall.org
Group visits can be booked for a minimum of 10 people.
We are happy to arrange a date and time on days or evenings when we are not already open to the public.
The same applies for school visits. Information and bookings via info@claytonhall.com
We also offer history talks at clubs etc. which includes a slideshow presented by Beryl Poole.”
There is a metro stop directly opposite, which means there is no excuse for not travelling east to the hall they call a gem.
Location Clayton
