Work begins on the new Café and Learning Centre!

Posted: 23/03/2021 by Caroline Welch

A building under construction is surrounded by scaffolding and safety signs. The site is bordered by trees, with earth and paved paths in the foreground and banners displaying project information along a fence. Our contractors TAD are now on site and have started redeveloping the 1830s Bishop’s Palace outbuildings to create a café, toilets and learning space in the places which originally housed a laundry, dairy and brew house where the servants of the Bishops’ households worked. The building work is now on tight schedule and due to be completed in Autumn 2021.

When finished, the learning centre will enable visitors of all ages to enjoy, to learn, to socialise and to engage with history, culture, gardening and wildlife of this exceptional place – a real community asset with wellbeing at its heart.
