Update on the future of Ashburton Hall
On the evening of 28th February 2018, Shuba and Devaki, partners in Deshi Arts, will hand over the operation of Ashburton Hall to Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL). They have negotiated an arrangement with GLL that honours confirmed room bookings and associated room rates for 3 months, following their commencement date. Deshi Arts will continue to work closely with GLL, the local community and Friends of Ashburton Park to ensure that the building and spaces continue to be utilised as a thriving arts community hub. Please email us at info@ashburton-hall.co.uk for any questions of concerns.
