New events planned for historic Beaumanor Hall
Murder mysteries and World War II-themed events and tours are being rolled out at a historic Leicestershire landmark as part of plans to ramp up visitor numbers.
Leicestershire County Council is trialling the activities at Beaumanor Hall whilst it draws up a longer-term plan.
The new events, which include company away days, follow discussions with residents and visitors about the activities they would like to attend.
Over the next six months, twilight wedding packages and more craft fairs, plus investment in marketing, are also being introduced.
A longer-term strategy, set to be finalised next spring, will explore revamping the outdoor education facilities and courtyard and adding new accommodation and aims to cut running costs. Last year, the hall cost £627,000 to operate.
Plans will be discussed next Monday (2 November) at the council’s adults and cultural services scrutiny committee which is meeting at Beaumanor Hall.
