The new 20-seater Coffee Shop is scheduled to open to the public on Easter Saturday with an all-day menu serving high-quality coffee, cream teas and locally-made food, including soups, snacks, salads and sandwiches. A small terrace with seating will look out over the Lutyens designed Horner memorial shelter next to the duck pond opposite, where more benches for sitting out are to be found. Further retail space in the Coffee Shop will offer guides, maps, local history books and locally sourced souvenirs.
