1999 – 2005
After a year at Hereford Art College and the completion of a BSc. (Hons.) Heritage Conservation I started my career at the historic and picturesque Highcliffe Castle.
Working closely with a small team and around 50 volunteers we established 1830s mansion, Highcliffe Castle as a cultural attraction and one of the most popular wedding venues on the south coast.
During the six years I worked at Highcliffe Castle, with the support of our team, I planned and organised numerous events and around 70 art, craft and heritage exhibitions.
