On Saturday 2nd April 101 alumni and their guests made the most of the sunshine and enjoyed a private tour of the newly-refurbished Winterbourne House and Garden.
Curator Lee Hale welcomed everyone and gave an insight in to the history of Winterbourne before guiding alumni through Winterbourne’s beautiful seven acre gardens.
Alumni were then invited to have afternoon tea and cakes before exploring the house to see how the decor would have appeared when the house was occupied 100 years ago and some of its fine furniture and antiques. Alumni also used the interactive exhibits which told stories of the house and its occupants through the people who lived and worked there over the years.
