In the charity's own words
Funding provided by the Heritage Fund and other organizations helped us to complete the restoration of the Orangery and the new building. The formal opening on 17 August 2019, was followed by a variety of events to meet our objectives. We provided activities for all ages and capabilities in art, music, drama, local handicrafts, and free open days for the public to share Ingestre's Heritage.
