Friends Of Valentines Mansion

2019 is the tenth anniversary of the house being open to the public since its restoration was completed in 2009. What a journey and what a wonderful place for all the community to enjoy! We are proud of our part in this achievement. Lots planned for this anniversary year! Keep an eye on our events page, Twitter and Facebook pages and the events page of VALENTINES MANSION & GARDENS to make sure you don’t miss out. The Friends’ next event is on 22nd February!

What we do

The Friends was set up in 2000 to raise awareness of the Mansion and its potential to the local community, and to raise funds for restoration projects. We continue supporting and enjoying this lovely place in various ways, holding fund-raising events, giving talks, and helping in the house as Volunteers.

Some of the money raised has been spent on acquiring beautiful items for the Mansion – the Victorian dining table in the Holcombe Room, and the table, chairs and mirror in the Regency Parlour. Our current project is to furnish the Raymond Room to reflect the period when Sir Charles Raymond owned Valentines, in the second half of the 18th century.
