On the weekend of 29 and 30 June, Overbeck’s will be celebrating its 75th birthday.
Thanks to its last resident, eccentric inventor Otto Overbeck, the house and garden was bequeathed to National Trust in 1938 and the same year the gates were opened to the public for the first time for just sixpence (6d). The Trust have been telling the story of Overbeck’s to visitors ever since.
Come and join us on this special weekend and help us celebrate. Overbeck’s staff will be offering a special high tea, with the addition of birthday cake, served on the lawn all day.
