The doors are open – check out some of the best bits from the Mansion Housewarming Weekend

A huge thank you to everyone who came down and visited us over our Housewarming Weekend at The Reader at Calderstones. The atmosphere was incredible, we were blown away by how busy we were and we loved sharing it all for the first time with you. Here's a look at some of the pictures from over the weekend.

There is much more to look forward to as we embark on the year ahead, with our Big Idea 'Recalled to Life'.

We hope that you will join us for gardening, crafting, yoga, upcycling, reading and more as we build our community together here at the Calderstones. Keep an eye on our What's Happening page for our latest programme of events with more to be announced.

With thanks to our funders and supporters Arts Council England, Liverpool City Council, Players of the People's Postcode Lottery, the National Lottery Community Fund, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Tudor Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Esmee Fairbairn foundation.
