COACH TRIP TO HATFIELD HOUSE AND GARDENS

THURSDAY, 2ND JULY  2026 - 9.30am to 5.00pm

Join us for this wonderful trip to Hatfield House and Gardens which are steeped in history and closely linked with Queen Elizabeth 

Leaving Bedford by coach at  9.30am from the Kimbolton Road car park to Mowsbury Park.  Please aim to arrive 10 minutes before departure.  About 10.30am arrive at Hatfield House.  The day will include a tour of the house and a short talk on the Rainbow Portrait (above).  This painting returned to the house in late 2024 after considerable conservation work. 

Our group will need to split into two groups of 20 for the house tour (15 minutes between each tour).  Afterwards, visit the beautiful gardens or take refreshments in the café.

Lunch at own expense:  Either outdoor picnic (bring your own lunch) or the Coach House Kitchen café.

4pm depart Hatfield House, arriving back in Bedford by about 5pm.

Cost:  £50 Inclusive of house tour and coach travel. 

Please book early as numbers are limited to 40 people.  Book from 1st April by emailing Janet  or at the April lecture.
