HALF TERM FUN
The Vyne has a fantastic new mix of activities
and adventures for families to enjoy from half-
term. Find out which bugs have been munching
on bits of The Vyne, on the Pesky Pest
challenge in the house. A family of 11 children
lived here in the 19th-cenury - they loved
dressing up and playing outdoors - you can
try on Victorian outfits to see how you’d have
looked 150 years ago. February 18 onwards,
The Vyne, Sherborne St John, 01256 883858

trademark vests, Robert will be travelling
