A Romantic Affair at Kedleston Hall

About the Event

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved one in the exquisite surrounds of one of the country’s finest stately homes. Enjoy a glass of bubbly on arrival, sensuous cello playing and a fire-lit meal in the sumptuous Caesars’ Hall before journeying through the house to witness the intimate drama of the first meeting between those two great Romantic poets and rakish lovers, Byron and Shelley.

The year is 1816 and the “mad, bad and dangerous to know” Lord Byron is about to leave his ancestral home, and his country, for good. The infamous earl’s departure is interrupted by the arrival of another great, revolutionary poet whose fame has yet to be established. Fire and brimstone collide as the poets’ brilliance and bravado clash.

The price includes a three course meal with a glass of prosecco on arrival and tea and coffee after the meal. More drinks are available to purchase throughout the night. You can look forward to the following menu choices:

Starters

• Butternut squash, red pepper & chilli soup served with freshly baked bread
• Salmon fish cake with garlic aioli served with mixed leaves

Mains

• Wild mushroom & green pea risotto
• Herb roasted lamb with Lyonnaise potatoes and braised red cabbage

Desserts

• Vanilla Crème Brulee with mini heart shortbread
• Sticky date sponge with rich toffee sauce
