Welcome to Columbine Hall
My late wife, Leslie Geddes-Brown, and I bought Columbine Hall in 1993 and have loved restoring the house, the gardens and the landscape so much that we wanted to share it with others. We have been opening the house and gardens by appointment since 1999. Later we started opening for wedding receptions and other exhibitions and parties. The old place (600 and more years old) seems to enjoy it as much as we do.
We hope that this website explains what we do, not only with descriptions to set the scene but with practicalities such as measurements and capacity. If not, just contact us. Unlike National Trust houses, Columbine Hall is constantly evolving. The furniture in the house changes and the gardens have new schemes and new plants every year.
