Davenport House Estate.

2018 - 2019
Countryside Management
Northumbria College.
This was perhaps a vanity project, it is something I always wanted to do and it never hurts to have another qualification. What it did do is teach me a lot about running a countryside venue which may come in useful in the future.... who knows?
2019 - present
Bare Bones Tavern.
This was my side project, both me and my business partner Wayne love the Live Roleplay hobby and we wanted to give something back to the community, whilst hopefully making a little bit of money, so we started the in character tavern which travels to events all over the UK - click HERE to find out more.
