Winter Warmer Donation Drive
In the spirit of giving, we are working in partnership with The Hospice of St Francis to donate good quality winter clothing (coats, hats, scarves). We will have a collection hub in the courtyard at Ashridge House where you can drop off items from the 25th November to the end of December. These items will be sold in the Hospice charity shops or donated free of charge to those in need in some of our less affluent areas of the community.
A note to our valued visitors
While Ashridge House has been honoured to host our annual winter light trail, this year we're pausing to pave the way for an even brighter future. Our dedication to offering exceptional experiences has led us to focus on infrastructure enhancements. By doing so, we aim to elevate your future visits, making them even more memorable. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to dazzle you with enhanced festivities when the light trail returns next year.
