Winford Manor's 1st Birthday

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Winford Manor celebrated it’s first year yesterday over dinner with British playwright Catherine Johnson in their newly opened Labyrinth restaurant. Catherine is best known for her script for the musical Mama Mia and screenplay for the film of the same name, which became the highest grossing UK film of all time and the biggest selling UK DVD of all time in January 2009.  It was a joint celebration for both Winford Manor and Catherine who is celebrating 10 years since first writing Mama Mia. Catherine’s most recent play ‘ suspension’ was released at the Bristol Old Vic in February.

 

Catherine was accompanied by Sheila Hanon and Gill Loats, from the Bristol Show of Strength Theatre Company.  Winford Manor is one of the sponsors of Show Of Strength.

 

 

Our thanks also to local guests who came along for a meal in our restaurant.

New arrivals at Winford Manor

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

The first clutch of Call Duck ducklings have hatched today!  This is mothers first hatching and we can happily report that she is delighted but bewildered.  The hotel staff have been dashing around with hot water and towels trying to be useful although Mrs Duck did not take too kindly to this interference and hissed proudly at the human experts!
