‘Ashwell at Home’ has been held on the second Sunday in May every year since 1983 and 2014 is the 31st Anniversary of this popular event.
It was started to fund the first extension of the Ashwell Village Museum and since then has helped fund a further extension. Now the profits go towards the running costs of the museum but are also shared with St Mary’s Church and Ashwell Primary School.
Although gardens are the main attraction the village is covered with a wealth of amusing, entertaining, informative, interesting and refreshing events which make for a packed afternoon with something for all the family.
