@practisepals @WeAreTheMU @LeedsTheatres @northernballet @ace_national I don't disagree, I'm simply sharing the message on the leaflet

[Clare Chapman @ClareC_Chapman]

Fab visit to see The Nutcracker at @LeedsTheatres this afternoon. Sad to hear that @northernballet is being forced to consider getting rid of the live orchestra & replace them with recordings. @ace_national should support the sector and #KeepNorthernBalletLive 📢@WeAreTheMU

If anything was going to tempt me out of the house today it was @wearerudyspizza & @OxfamBookshops 🍕 #StormBabet #Headingley

Episode 1 gave real insight into why Llwyn Celyn, and buildings like it, are so important & the vital work of @LandmarkTrust in giving them a new lease of life. As @AnnaLandmark put it, when we lose them, we also lose our ability to touch the lives and experience of our ancestors

[The Landmark Trust @LandmarkTrust]

📺 The £4 Million Restoration: #HistoricHouseRescue returns to our screens this evening. Tune into More4 at 10pm to learn about Llwyn Celyn, our ambitious two-year restoration of one of Wales’ most important domestic buildings. ⚒️

@WorcesterCivic Sadly not, but there's a perfectly good terraced area out front

Enjoying our stay at the former #church of St Michael & All Angels, Market Stainton. No longer used for regular worship, this beautiful church building has found a sustainable new use as #holidayaccommodation (1/2)

The belief that we must not reconstruct badly damaged buildings is based on outdated readings of Ruskin and William Morris, writes Andy Foster. #architecture #heritage #conservation

@BeltonHouseNT Thank you for coming back to me. I didn't receive a response, so I contacted your national enquiries line on Tuesday and they were able to assist me.

@natchjourneyman It's a good job I'm not a page folder then 😉

[Clare Chapman @ClareC_Chapman]

Sunny Sheffield ☀️ had a great time wandering round the city, a trip to Builder's Brew (a lego cafe) opposite the cathedral and some great street food at @cutleryworks🍴

[Clare Chapman @ClareC_Chapman]

@BeltonHouseNT I contacted the team via email last week regarding tickets for reopening on Saturday 16th and I haven't received a response yet. Is there another way of speaking to someone?

[Clare Chapman @ClareC_Chapman]

@katieculture @yorkcivictrust is this one of your plaques?

[Clare Chapman @ClareC_Chapman]

Particularly enjoyed the collection of items found under the floor boards during the works, but I won't spoil that for you! The gardens were beautiful in the sunshine, looking forward to a repeat visit to see the new gallery space later in the year (2/2)

[Clare Chapman @ClareC_Chapman]

First visit to @NTBeningbrough this weekend and it was glorious! The house was in fine form having recently reopened following a 2yr closure & a £2.3m revamp. The wood carving & the cantilevered staircase in this Grade I listed Baroque mansion are definitely worth seeing...(1/2)
