Coming from Broadway
Broadway has its tower on the escarpment and a long green high street of honey stone. It is the northern edge of our patch.
It is a drive, about fifty five minutes. Broadway guests usually come for the Masterclass, often as a gift.
We will be honest: 55 minutes is a drive. Classes run Tuesday to Thursday, so make a day of it with the Masterclass and a walk by the Thames. Private groups from Broadway can ask about other days.
