The Grange is a stunning Georgian country house, surrounded by greenery and close to Shanklin's sandy beach, cosy pubs and restaurants and the local train station.

Inspiring Courses

Your Christmas Celebration includes ten hours of course time split between two inspiring facilitators plus evening events. This leaves plenty of time to explore the island and relax.
