We are so excited to be welcoming hundreds of visitors to our St Osyth Priory Estate Open Day on 27th November.
The Open Day is exclusive to those with a confirmed booking and will give VIP guests the chance to take in views of the estate and explore the very latest progress in the revitalisation of this iconic landmark within the village of St Osyth.
At the centre of the estate is the 16th century Darcy House. Taking its name from the 1st Lord Darcy, Lord Chamberlain of the household under Edward VI, Darcy House has been the focal point of painstaking renovation and now features two beautifully restored function suites, each with the capacity for 110 seated guests.
Weddings and other events will be staged within Darcy House from spring 2023, with further plans for the estate to be home to hotel accommodation, country holiday retreats, a farm shop, a pub, a café and a wellbeing centre.
During the Open Day, visitors will get the chance to tour the estate as well as step inside Darcy House to experience the beautifully restored interior, including hand-painted ceilings and stunning wood panelling. Refreshments will also be served too, giving guests the chance to sample the flavours that will become part of the new future for St Osyth Priory.
William Grinstead, spokesperson for St Osyth Priory Estate, commented: “It is so exciting to be inviting guests for an exclusive opportunity to see the amazing work that has been going on at St Osyth Priory. The estate is such a valuable part of the local community and there has been an incredible level of interest in how St Osyth Priory will be given a new lease of life in the heart of the village of St Osyth.”
“Our Open Day gives visitors the chance to see the quality of the restoration work that has taken place so far and learn more about the further improvements which will follow. For centuries, St Osyth Priory played a central and positive role in the local economy and this is our intention for the estate for future generations. Whether guests arrive from across the country for a wedding or from the surrounding area to visit the farm shop and café, we want St Osyth Priory to be a destination people are delighted to visit.”
