Bensham Grove is a beautiful Grade II listed building that is rather magical in the evening.

The 2016 Late will offer guided historical tours, Latin Dancing, and a variety of make and take practical craft sessions such as Stained glass work, paper-craft, crochet and a textile applique workshop. All materials will be supplied and refreshments will be available.
