To celebrate its grand reopening Chicheley Hall ran a free mini market and food festival on Sunday May 23.

Cocktail demonstrations, cooking workshops and food stalls, were among some of the features Milton Keynes residents enjoyed at this free event.

This showcase of local businesses and the grand wedding venue in Newport Pagnell proved a real hit.
