We took tea on the Lawn at Hyde Hall

Rayleigh Vineyard @ Hyde Hall 7We had a very special event for ladies only on the afternoon of 9th May. Lovely cream teas, beautiful surroundings, a truly British day out amongst the stunning flowers and plants at the RHS Hyde Hall in Rettendon, near Chelmsford. The weather was warm and kind to us and the company was just as inviting. See our slide show of the day here.

Easter Eggs found at Danbury Lakes!

Easter Egg Hunt at Danbury Lakes 4Rayleigh Vineyard Kids had a lovely trip to Danbury by coach to enjoy an exciting Easter Egg Hunt during the Easter holidays. We arrived at Danbury Lakes in the early afternoon to soak up the delightful scenery and wildlife there, and to eat our packed lunches and take part in a very exciting hunt for the hidden eggs around the site. We enjoyed parachute games, egg and spoon races and then before we took the coach back to Rayleigh we searched high and low for the elusive eggs. See slide show here. Much fun was had by all! Roll on next year! Rayleigh Vineyard holds a number of events throughout the year for children. Future events will be posted here.
