Families looking to treat their dad this Father’s Day can enjoy a Gentleman’s Grazing Board in the historic surroundings of the Old Library at Auckland Palace.
Taking place on Sunday 21 June, the special experience offers a savoury feast fit for a Prince Bishop featuring pork and sage sausage rolls, Scotch eggs, quiche, cheese scones, ham, olives, crudités and hummus, alongside Auckland Palace chutney.
Dads will also receive a complimentary drink, choosing from an Estrella beer, Sassy cider or alcohol-free beer.
Guests will be welcomed into the Old Library, part of one of Europe’s best-preserved Bishop’s palaces. Steeped in more than 1,000 years of history, Auckland Palace was once home to the powerful Prince Bishops of Durham and remains one of the North East’s most remarkable heritage attractions.
Kimberely Carruthers, Head of Hospitality Operations at The Auckland Project, said: “Father’s Day is the ideal opportunity to spend quality time together as a family, and we wanted to create an experience that offers something a little different.
“Our Gentleman’s Grazing Board combines delicious savoury treats with the unique atmosphere of Auckland Palace, giving guests the chance to relax and celebrate the dads in their lives.”
The Gentleman’s Grazing Board is priced at £25 per person, with sittings available at 12.30pm and 2.30pm. Spaces are limited and advance booking is recommended: https://tickets.aucklandproject.org/event-tickets/78468?catID=73521&.
