Whether you’re seeking delicious dining experiences or action-packed adventures, this picturesque town has something for everyone. Here’s a rundown of the must-visit places and their offerings for a memorable bank holiday weekend…
Salomons Estate
Nestled amongst 36 acres of lush gardens, Salomons Estate, a charming Victorian country manor house, invites families to enjoy a spot of British tradition this August bank holiday.
For sweet tooths, afternoon tea is available on the terrace or in the manor house conservatory and is served between 12pm and 4pm. It costs from £25 per person and the seasonal menu celebrates the vibrant flavours of an English summer.
Enjoy delicate finger-cut sandwiches, fresh pastries, traditional fruit and vanilla scones, and a sweet selection of sticky, homemade cakes.
If you’re after something heartier, Sunday lunch will be served on August 27. Enjoy panoramic views of the picturesque grounds as you tuck into succulent roasted beef or chicken accompanied by classic sides like Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables.

At The Brasserie on Chapel Place, a special offer awaits families seeking a budget-friendly dining experience this bank holiday weekend. As part of their ongoing summer promotion, kids eat for free with each adult meal ordered.

Paired with crispy fries and a fresh salad, each main course provides a healthy and satisfying option for hungry young appetites. Dessert is also included, and options include a choice of ice cream or pancakes with maple syrup.
Meanwhile, adults can savour an array of modern twists on classic favourites from The Brasserie’s main menu. With a focus on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, every dish promises a delightful burst of flavour. And as an extra treat, The Brasserie is giving parents a free cocktail.
