Huge turnout to see the new plans for Drapers Hall over Heritage Open Days - 2,055 over the two weekends - could be a record for HoDs. If we get all of the funding, we'll be starting full restoration in April next year

A wonderful few days sharing this incredible place and the plans for its future. I'm in love! ��
