If your group or organisation are planning on coming to an event, why not reduce your carbon footprint and come all together in a coach or minibus?

We do have ample parking at Eastfield House, but reducing the volume of traffic is good for the environment, good for the peace of Kings Bromley village, and helps us with our parking arrangements.

Songkran ~ Thai New Year Sunday 20th April 2008 9.00am ~ 4.00pm

One of Thailand's best known festivals is Songkran (the celebration of the New Year). In Thailand the celebrations go on for two weeks and involves much water throwing. Here in the UK in April, water throwing isn't really practical, but although there is much religious significance, it is still great fun.

Join us at Eastfield House as we celebrate this ancient Thai custom
