We were very pleased to welcome @HughDennis_ and crew to Murton Park to show the Viking village for an episode of the Great British Dig.

The episode featuring Murton Park will air on 24th February at 9pm on More 4.

@Lizziewillk Did the Viking village used in the inserts look familiar? 😉

Well that was quite a year, we would like to thank everyone for their support through what have been very challenging times.

There may well be more difficult times ahead but there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel.

Happy New Year to everyone and see you in 2021!

🎄Merry Christmas from us all at Murton Park.🎅

[Murton Park @murtonpark]

Father and Mother Christmas are now on their Sleigh back up to the North Pole ready for tomorrow night.

We certainly hope all those who visited for Santa's Staycation had a wonderful time.

If you have any pictures to share we would love to see them.
