Burwell House
- We Tweet
Not often - but if you'd like to follow us - go to Twitter.com and search for Burwell House. We'll try to keep people abreast of what's been going on at the house and of any other nice things we find.
- New Staff
A big welcome to Faye, who joins our education team from Caldecote Primary. We are really pleased to have her on board and she looks forward to working with visitors teaching Burwell Fox, Victorian Role Play, Team Challenges and the whole range of other sessions our visitors take part in.
Another big welcome to Lynn, who joins our kitchen team. She's already getting stuck into the chicken pies, roast dinners and yummy chocolate sponges that the kitchen team produce.
- Fond Farewell
After 4 years as our fab cook, Jackie has moved on to pastures new. We and the hundreds of customers she served will miss her cheery smile and her mean chicken pie.
- Moving on up
After 4 years here working as a kitchen assistant, congratulations to Clare, who has been successfully promoted and is now working as our cook. She makes the best Yorkshire puddings in the kingdom and we're having to upwardly extend our ovens to cope.
- Mandeville - a new look
For many years our Mandeville room (the one with the tuck shop on the side) has felt like rather a spare part. Sort of a spare lounge, sort of an extra space. It didn't really know what it wanted to be. So, over the last few months Gary has been very hard at work making changes. The carpet has gone and has revealed beautiful original floorboards. The room has been decorated too, giving it a much fresher look, and purchase of some new furniture has given the room real purpose - more of a classroom space than a lounge space, but with flexibility to become whatever groups need - a small hall, a dining room, a classroom or an extra lounge. We're delighted with the way it looks, and with some Victorian evidence we uncovered during the work, and the first lucky customers to use it have found it a huge improvement.
- Holiday activities
We plan to have Easter Holiday Activities running on Tuesday 13th April. These will be open to all in Year 3 - 6, and have been locally publicised already. For further details, give us a call on 01638 741256
- A giant hello
A huge addition to our garden in the form of our new giant sculpture. Designed by children who visited the Centre in the summer term, and constructed by artist David Swinton over the summer holidays, our giant is already proving very popular with visiting children and adults alike. He is a brother (or at least a distant cousin) to the giants at our sister Centres, Grafham Water and Stibbington. A grand opening is planned for March 18th.
