Our first Suffolk mare, Violet, died last Friday.  She came to us many years ago when in her prime and we bred many good foals from her and her progeny produced foals too.; and their progeny also.  She had a wonderfully quiet temperament which her foals acquired in great measure and passed on.  She would have been a regular sight to our many visitors.   Her passing was

For over 30 years Kentwell has created Events.  From its Tudor Re-Creations to (recently) Scaresville; from Concerts & Music Festivals to WWII happenings.  Every Event making full use of the beautuful moated Hall, Gardens & Grounds.

It seemed to us that with all its natural facilities and advantages in the Farm Buildings, the Woods and part of the Gardens allied to our own inventiveness we had  unbeatable scope to create a suitable scary Halloween event.  The response from the public was very encouraging.
