Visited here september last year with a rather large group 10 of us in fact yes 10!! They where aquanuke, Mr Bones, Lowri, and 6 non forum members we all had a fantastic day wandering around this gigantic place.. The main attraction for me was the hall it was just so grand and painted in very attractive colors.
Here is some history for you guys and girls.. i hope you like my pictures.
