Happy New Year from the new Peckforton Blog

Currently in test mode, the Peckforton blog will be going live early in 2010.

Donation to Beeston Peregrine Watch

Chris Naylor, owner of Peckforton Castle has donated £500 to the Beeston Peregrine Watch organisation to help replace their ageing camera. This money was added to a £500 donation by the Merseyside Ringing Group.

The new camera will be linked up to a monitor down below and will enable the Beeston Peregrine Watch volunteers to keep the nesting birds safe throughout their breeding period at nearby Beeston Castle.

Burns Night – Friday, 22nd January

Celebrate Burns Night at the Castle £35.00 per person- includes a free shot of whisky to toast the Haggis and a hearty three course Burns Supper.

Extract from ‘Ode to a Haggis’

All hail your honest rounded face,
Great chieftain of the pudding race;
Above them all you take your place,
Beef, tripe, or lamb:
You’re worthy of a grace
As long as my arm.

The groaning trencher there you fill,
Your sides are like a distant hill
Your pin would help to mend a mill,
In time of need,
While through your pores the dews distil,
Like amber bead.

His knife the rustic goodman wipes,
To cut you through with all his might,
Revealing your gushing entrails bright,
Like any ditch;
And then, what a glorious sight,
Warm, welcome, rich.

Extend your evening with our burns supper, bed and breakfast package of just £160.00 per couple
