Our New venue for 2025 will be at 

The School is housed in an 18th century mansion set in 480 acres of Suffolk Parkland. The building has a remarkable history, spanning 600 years.

The land originally belonged to the Abbey in Bury St Edmunds, but following the dissolution of the monasteries, during Henry V111's reign, it was bought by Sir Christopher Coote in 1541.  The estate and Manor House later passed to England's first Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Nicholas Bacon in 1586. He demolished the old Manor House and in its place built a large Tudor Style Hall.

In 1660 the Manor House was bought by the Corwallis family and by 1790 had been transformed into an 18th century Mansion and plans were drawn up to landscape the park.

The next custodian of the estate from 1823 was Richard Benyon de Beauvoir, the family managed the estate and renovated the church which is in the grounds, before selling to the 5th Earl of Cadogan in 1889

The Cadogan family made many alterations to the building including the addition of the north wing. And in 1935 it was bought by the Methodist Board of Education, initially as a boy's school, and then from 1972 it became one of the first co-educational boarding schools in the UK.

This beautiful building and landscape plus the elegant Cadogan Hall (below) will be an exciting new venue for the course in 2025.

The facilities at the school will ensure yet another successful weekend course.

Alongside the enjoyment of working on your chosen Chamber Music, there is the beautiful Parkland and nearby village of Culford to enjoy, or a trip to the historic Market Town of Bury St Edmunds.
