Asiana Wedding Magazine Photo Shoot
The Heath House gardens were recently chosen as the location for a fashion photoshoot by Asiana Wedding Magazine. For one hectic day the house and grounds were taken over by photographers, stylists and models dressed in fabulously rich costumes. A selection of the photographs, taken by Alexandre Pichon at Asiana Magazine, can be viewed in a special gallery on this website.

Cream Teas Draw the Crowds
There’s something about the traditional English cream tea that is simply irresistible. Visitor numbers to our Open Days have doubled since we started offering simple refreshments to visitors. For just £4 per person, you can enjoy a cream tea or cakes and sandwiches in the dining room, or outdoors on the terrace if the weather permits. More substantial fare is available for group tours, details on request.
