In 2019, we started to think about our old conservatory, which needed so much love and attention. We decided to go out to raise money to enable us to renew it and give us a smarter frontage to our building. We had funding help from various people in Newmarket, which we thank you all very much. We also received help from Locality Budget for the furnishing when we are ready.
In June 2020 plans were drawn up by Mathew Stearn of Whiting’s in Bury St Edmunds and I am glad to say that in January 2021 the work has finally started. The work is being carried out by Godfrey Hicks a local company.
When it is all completed, it will be known as the orangery, in there will be our new café area which will sell Drinks, Cakes, Sandwiches and a Light Snacks. We cannot wait to have our first customers through the door. If you are passing anytime soon have a look you will see how things are developing. In the meantime, Laura will keep you updated on Facebook & Twitter as well as our website.
