This special event offers a rare opportunity to view personal objects belonging to Florence Nightingale, items seldom seen by the public, bringing her story vividly to life.
Conclude your visit in style with tea served in the Hall’s historic drawing room, a setting steeped in tradition and charm.
Cost includes general admission to Lotherton Estate, where you can enjoy the beautiful gardens and grounds and visit Wildlife World. Why not make it a full day out and have lunch in the café?
