Best things in Life
17 June - 15 July 2012
We are privileged to join forces with Rosie Pearson, the owner of Asthall Manor in neighbouring Swinbrook for their 2012 Biennial "on form" sculpture exhibition. With 28 artists showcasing, this is the 6th and largest exhibition of outstanding works of sculpture.
Every season in the Cotswolds has its rewards; the summer months are awash with colour and the undulating walk from Old Minster to Asthall Manor along the River Windrush, inspiring and uplifting. Once home to the legendary Mitford sisters, Asthall Manor is said to be the setting for Nancy Mitford's fictional Alconleigh in The Pursuit of Love.
The exquisite garden at Asthall Manor is listed as a Grade II Historic Garden and created for the current owners by Julian and Isobel Bannerman (best known for their work for Prince Charles at Highgrove House).
Throughout its run, on form will host a full programme of events including painting and drawing workshops, talks, artist demonstrations, and theatre and music performances.
Your "Best things in Life Visit" includes accommodation for two nights at the Old Swan & Minster Mill, afternoon tea on the River Terrace on your day of arrival, full English breakfast each morning, three course dinner each evening in the Old Swan & Minster Mill or weather permitting on the Garden Terrace, 2 tickets & catalogue to the on form exhibition (we recommend this to be the middle day of your stay) including a self-guided walk to Asthall (1 hour 30 minutes each way).
Minster Mill Accommodation - £255 per person sharing
Old Swan Accommodation - £315 per person sharing
