Raby Castle, Park and Gardens recently hosted a special event to celebrate its new partnership with Bamford, a nature inspired lifestyle and wellness brand which launched in 2004.
The County Durham lifestyle destination is the first stockist of Bamford in the North East of England, and Bamford’s range of skincare and its spa collection – from candles, room diffusers and hand creams to pillow mists and indulgent gift sets – are available to purchase from The Coach House Shop set within the grounds of Raby Castle.
The Estate’s beautifully curated shopping destination located in an 18th century Coach House opened last year, and Bamford is the latest brand to feature inside the restored heritage building which has become a must-visit retail location. The launch event took place inside The Coach House Shop with the chance to meet Bamford’s ambassadors, Lou and Eva.
Stephanie Goss, retail manager said: “Bamford has always been an aspirational brand which correlates with Raby’s vision of organic produce and sustainable approach. Their signature Geranium hand wash smells incredible and complements our celebration of the garden and great outdoors.
“Raby is hosting a Spring Garden Fair in May and I’m sure the Bamford collection will be popular amongst the many visitors attending. We are seeing repeat customers come back to sample the ever-growing collection of sustainable body care.”
The addition of Bamford’s nature inspired collection coincides with the retail destination also unveiling a new outdoor living space, where visitors can peruse plants, pots and outdoor accessories.
“Everyone is looking forward to those first signs of spring and are desperate to get their outdoor furniture looking great with beautiful outdoor place settings and big pots, spilling over with colourful plants and blooms. We hope people might find something to complement their garden here from Raby’s new plant and outdoor living range displayed throughout the beautiful Coach Yard. There could be no better inspiration than a visit to our stunning five-acre Walled Gardens to get you enthusiastic about gardening at home,” added Stephanie.
Raby Castle, Park and Gardens is a leading lifestyle destination with opportunities to shop local produce, discover unique brands, enjoy dining experiences at The Vinery Café, reconnect with nature in the Walled Gardens and parkland and to discover the unique history inside the magnificent 14th century castle, creating the perfect relaxing day out for families, groups and friends.
