Friday 26th - Sunday 28th March 2010

The weekend will explore one of the most rewarding and colourful

centuries and stands beside its own lake in seven acres of parkland
within the tranquil Weald. The hotel is well appointed with more than
twenty en suite bedrooms.

orchestras, festivals and record companies. A well-known figure in the
musical life of southern England, he lectures at Oxford and other universities,

internationally, and at the Universities of London and Kent, as well as
several years as the Principal of the London College of Dance. She is presently
writing a book entitled Making Dances Everywhere in addition to dance
workshops and lecturing.

Guests will arrive on Friday at 5pm and depart after tea on Sunday.
