Furtho East Mural

In March of this year, Sarah Hodgkins (Charlotte Designs/@muralsbysarah on Instagram) came to our ceremony room, Furtho East, to paint a mural. Sarah's design was inspired by her view having passed through the farm on a run. 

Sarah started Charlotte Designs in 2005 and paints murals across the area. Her expertise as a farmer's daughter has perhaps leant her a helping hand in being able to capture the essence of the farm in her mural.

The mural saw the culmination of some of the most poignant elements of the view from the lake below, as seen in the painting of the gazebo and the dovecote. The gazebo stands on an island in the lake and is available to be used for ceremonies, after it was purpose built in 2019. The dovecote is one of the historic landmarks on the farm often used as a background for photographs on their wedding days.

Whilst the mural is not an exact representation of the venue it creates a pleasing background for ceremonies which may take place in the room, as seen in the set up above photographed by Autumn Rae (@autumnraeweddings on Instagram). The mural brightens up the room entirely and simply brings the essence of Furtho into the room. Furtho East can be hired as a venue for ceremonies and other events.
