May Day at the Manor — Bank Holiday Sorted
Always look on the bright side of life…
Have a great weekend — whatever you get up to…
(or just let us make the decision for you)
Another local gem alert…
How well do you really know Harrow?
This Bank Holiday, head over to Headstone Manor for May Day at the Manor a proper, feel-good, get-out-the-house kind of day.
Monday 4th May
12pm – 5pm (not early no traveling)
Family fun, music, colour, and a bit of old school charm
Now here’s the part most people don’t realise…
Right on our doorstep sits something a bit special:
the only completely moated manor house in Greater London.
The site dates back to 825, and the Manor House you see today has been standing since 1310.
(Yes… really. It’s been here longer than most of our “quick 10-minute visits”.)
And tucked into the grounds, there’s a stretch of natural water flowing through part of the wider catchment that eventually links into the Thames system.
Quiet, easy to miss… but a nice reminder that nature is doing its thing right alongside us.
Whether you’ve just moved in, lived here forever, or are simply passing through, there’s a surprising amount to discover — stories, history, and bits of local life you probably didn’t know existed.
Even better? Entry is completely free.
(Which, these days, feels like a small win.)
What’s not to like?
A proper bit of history
A peaceful setting
Something different to do
And it’s right here in Harrow
(No traffic, no ticket stress… just turn up and enjoy)
Fancy going a bit deeper?
There’s a full year-round programme of talks, tours, events, and family activities, so there’s usually something extra going on beyond just a wander.
Fresh air, a bit of history, something for the kids… and you might even learn something without meaning to.
Not a bad way to spend a Bank Holiday.
