Upcoming Public Events at Ford House - 2011
There are many private functions in the Barn at Ford House, limiting the number of public functions held. There are, however, some outstanding events which we encourage the public to attend. For more details, contact Ken or Jenny on (08) 97 611 816 or email relax@fordhouse.com. Bookings are essential. Guests are encouraged to think of themes for their private functions at Ford House…..they are always unforgettable. Most functions this year are on hold due to the health of one of the owners
