"Loved it and its free.... the lady who was there was lovely my eldest daughter was doing a free check list on different things to find and she couldn't fine the last one so the lovely lady helped her find it and was giving us so much information on different things. Definitely going again"
"An amazing place with lots of historical items inside. Its very interactive with signs explaining what each of the items are (and some of them can be touched). I've been before to watch a historical knight battle and it was great! Its located in Meersbrooke park and is very close to a grassy hill with a view of the city. There are also 2 playgrounds; one behind it and one down the hill. I would definitely recommend visiting this place!"
"We had our wedding at Bishops house on 29th July 2022 and it was perfect. Jenni, who coordinated it all for us, was so helpful and accommodating and the team on the day were brilliant. Bishops House is a beautiful Tudor building, the exterior is stunning and the views from the top of the park are amazing, it felt elegant and also very intimate due to the size of the building which made it feel extra special. Jenni and the team decorated it beautifully and Jenni was able to walk us through everything in advance which put us at ease and ran the day perfectly. Thank you all so much for giving us the most perfect wedding day. Jess and Andrew."
