We will resume our popular tours of Strelley Hall with Afternoon Tea when restrictions are lifted, it now looks likely that they will not resume until 2021.

We are really working hard to improve the gardens at Strelley Hall this year, our plans include building a natural woodland play area for children and creating a trail around the grounds and the Church. 

Update February 2020 - we now have a fabulous new bucket swing in the grounds, and are working on the sensory garden around it, but all are welcome to use the bucket swing now.  The sensory garden is evolving and we hope to have it looking fabulous for spring time.  Thank you very much to our fantastic volunteers from Smile and Achieve social club in Aspley for all your hard work!

The beautiful function rooms at Strelley Hall are the ideal place for a party, conference or funeral wake, below is the Morning Room ready for a Christmas party.  Afternoon Tea birthday or Anniversary parties are always popular. We now have an alcohol licence so can supply alcoholic drinks for events.

Rooms available to hire

We stock delicious Bluebells ice cream which we sell by the scoop to eat in or take out.

We always have nine delicious flavours to choose from such as strawberries and cream, devilishly chocolate, sticky toffee fudge or dairy free pear and elderflower sorbet.

Bluebells is a local family run farm that produces homemade ice cream from their own cows' milk which travels less than 20 metres from the milking parlour to be made into ice cream. Why not pop in and try some for yourself!

We have loyalty cards available for customers. Get your card stamped for each coffee or tea you buy and once you have 9 stamps you will get your 10th drink free. Pick a card up from the cafe and start collecting your stamps!
