Transcript

00:00 Hello I'm Lucinda Parrish and welcome to Walcott Hall. We live here as a family.

00:05 I'm married to Robin, whose parents bought it back in 1957 and we've been

00:13 married for 26 years now and we've got four children Arthur, George, Nancy and

00:18 Eddie and they've all grown up here and we love it as a home but we also share

00:23 it with anyone who wants to come and get married or have a party. We kind of enjoy

00:32 the fact that it is a family home. It looks really big and impressive and

00:37 stately but actually it's not. It's quite a friendly house. We've got a great team who

00:42 work at Walcott and who help us and look after us and we look after them we hope.

00:49 But if you wanted to come and get married here then you've got the most

00:53 amazing view and the gardens are yours for the musing. Just get married

01:00 wherever you like. So as well as weddings we are basically open to all sorts of

01:06 celebrations. We actually host an opera every year in June. This year will be our

01:11 20th year. The company, our Regents Opera, they're absolutely brilliant and they

01:17 come from London. They're a touring opera company and they come and they stay

01:21 here. All the cast are here, sleeping here and perform on Friday and Saturday

01:26 night. The gardens are all open so people who want to come and have a picnic, kind

01:34 of like Glyndebourne but it's in Shropshire, can set up anywhere around

01:38 the gardens, have their picnic and then there's a drinks reception in the hall

01:42 and on a lovely day where you can see out here they can mingle with their

01:48 glass of fizz and chat away.
