Join us for a visit to Cirencester and Rodmarton Manor. Leaving BoA at 9.30am we will arrive in Cirencester around 10.30am with plenty go time to explore the town and have coffee and/or lunch.


The bus will leave at 1.30pm for the 15-minute drive to Rodmarton Manor where we will be able to explore the Arts and Crafts house and enjoy a cream tea. Rodmarton Manor is the supreme example of a house built according to Arts and Crafts ideals. It was one of the last country houses to be built and furnished in the old traditional style when everything was done by hand with local stone, local timber and local craftsmen.


Built for Claud and Margaret Biddulph between 1909 and 1929 and today the home of John and Sarah Biddulph and their family – the fourth and fifth generations of the family to live there.


Cost to include coach fare, entry to Rodmarton and cream tea is £44 per person. As we need to confirm final numbers and pay for the visit three weeks prior to the visit please book no later than Tuesday 1st September.
