Have you ever looked up in our entrance hall here in Westport House and noticed the torn flags on either side of the pillars of the staircase? 👀
These are British Regimental Flags dating back to the 1800’s 🤩
Flags we’re often let hang until they fell apart to represent a soldiers life, yet another beautiful piece of history for you to observe when we return for visits here in Westport House 🙌🏻
We hope that you are all settling into 2023 🥳
We will be taking a little break here in Westport House until March to spruce things up and give our staff some well needed R&R after an incredibly busy season and of course Christmas 👏🏼
Take note of our new hours as our Grounds will still be open alongside our Airstream which will have ample Coffee & Treats for all those January strolls around the Estate 🚶♂️
