With summer drawing to a close and our thoughts turning to crisp autumnal days and cosy nights in, The Bradley Hare, situated in the beautiful village of Maiden Bradley in southwest Wiltshire, invites guests to make the most of the autumn season by enjoying a range of activities from its newly launched Autumn Events programme.
The activities, which are guaranteed to get those creative juices flowing, have been designed to enhance guests’ experience whilst enjoying their stay at the perfect countryside autumn getaway. Activity highlights include creative workshops such as collage, flower pressing and Christmas wreath making.
What’s more, after enjoying the morning’s activities, guests will be treated to a delicious two-course lunch, where they can enjoy some exquisite cuisine from the newly launched autumn menu, with seasonal delights such as venison loin with pumpkin and pickled walnut, ricotta gnocchi with beetroot and cob nuts, to Jerusalem artichoke with pearl barley and Somerset pecorino cheese.
