Whether it is art or animals, weddings or weekend guests – the question
of how to make money from the Manor House has been testing inventive minds of
landowners and their advisers for decades.
It has been two years since we covered this topic and things have again
moved on. This seminar will showcase the ideas, expertise, trials and
tribulations of those who have secured the financial future of their family
homes, complimented by professional advice on all practical aspects from
planning to marketing.

which is currently enjoying fame from the successful Poldark series
- Simon Foster, who has been responsible for
marketing many successful enterprises including Eastnor Castle
- Fiona Francombe, who runs the Bottleyard
Studios in Bristol

The event is being held at Great Fulford, the home of CLA member Francis
Fulford. Great Fulford featured in the TV programmes The F***ing Fulfords and
Life is Toff. Francis is the author of Bearing Up: The Long View; looking at
the troubled history of landowning and identifying the characteristics which
have enabled many estates to survive while others have foundered. Surveying the
scene today, Francis draws on his own experiences to suggest a strategy of
survival in the twenty-first century.
The event will include a two course lunch with wine followed by a tour
of Great Fulford with Francis.
