Holiday Garden Stroll & Dinner at Georgian Hall
Let the magic continue as we head through the holiday light-filled gardens to the historic Manor House Ruins. This fascinating resort centerpiece was originally built in 1840's by Godfrey Barnsley for his wife, Julia, who unfortunately fell ill and passed away before it was completed. However, his love for her lived on and pushed Barnsley to complete construction. Today, the remarkable ruins serve as an extension of the resort doubling as unique event space for dining and taking in the enchanting views of the majestic gardens at every corner - much like we'll be doing tonight! After our stroll, we'll head to neighboring Georgian Hall for a special dining experience.

It's always a good "stein" at the Biergarten!
