May Dawn Chorus Weekend at Longueville House May 06^th & 07^th 2022
This year heralds our 11th Dawn Chorus Walk in Longueville House and is reserved for our weekend resident guests. With the guidance of Michael Cobley, Ornithologist expert, participants meet in the bar area of Longueville at 4am on Saturday morning for a quick coffee, brief orientation, and distribution of estate maps. Participants set off on the walk. Later (Approx. 2.5 hours later) the group returns home to clean up and enjoy a hearty country house style breakfast. In Longueville, the reward at the end of a walk is as important as the actual walk itself!
Afterwards a cosy chat, questions and answers session in the Drawing room or sleepyheads may return to bed for a snooze! The Longueville dawn chorus walk is expert led by guide with interactive walks in private extensive surroundings, allowing participants benefit from the guide's time & attention.

Dine magnificently - Each evening we offer a four-course, set dinner menu that changes daily and varies according to the season prepared and cooked for you by Chef/Owner and Host William O'Callaghan. This menu style allows William to focus his energy on limited offerings of finely executed dishes, and concentrate on what he does best, cooking exquisite food.                                                           
Between 6.45pm-7.00pm Guests are welcome to join William who will briefly discuss the evening's menu with you. It may also be the right time for guests to enjoy a pre-dinner Longueville House Cocktail, alcoholic & non-alcoholic or choose wine or beverage of choice to pair with dinner. 
If you will be enjoying a pre-dinner aperitif in the bar, please allow 45 mins ahead of your sitting time.
Dinner is served promptly at 7.30pm and all our guests dine at the same time.  
We ask that you arrive on time for dinner - it is really appreciated by everyone, thank you.
Dress Code is smart casual or as glam as you wish!
