About this Event
This one-of-a-kind event offers an insider’s perspective, guided by Sharon Mulholland, whose newly published memoir, ‘An Invitation to the Table’, recounts her extraordinary 30-years of living and working at the estate.
Join Sharon for an intimate, behind-the-scenes tour of the house, where she will share enchanting stories of daily life, including children at play, devoted dogs, bustling household routines and the exquisite art of planning and hosting luncheons and gatherings for a fascinating array of distinguished guests.
Explore rarely seen “back of house” areas, including the kitchen, Butler’s Pantry, and cellar, before concluding the experience with refreshments on the front verandah.
This is a rare opportunity to connect with history, hospitality, and the stories that bring Retford Park to life.
Tickets include entry to Retford Park, exclusive tour, wine (non-alcoholic and vegan options available) and individual cheese platters.
