The place itself is beautiful, spacious and well-appointed. Access is easy and there is plenty of car parking. What really set Dearnford Lake apart from other excellent venues was the personal contribution of the owners (Charles and Jane Bebington) to the running of our exhibition and sale of original works of art. From the early planning to the final packing at the end of the show, we had 2 extra people on our team. They gave us ideas and practical support. They anticipated our requirements without ever interfering, and never failed to give us the impression that they were delighted to be part of our project. We had 2 very successful days at Dearnford Lake, with good visitor numbers and sales. We'll be back!
