As part of this year’s National Trust Heritage Festival, Buda’s Mother’s Day afternoon tea will be on Sunday 12th May 2024 commencing at 2 pm with a talk by Christine Lloyd. A perfect way to spend a pleasurable Sunday afternoon with your Mum.

What connects the Leviny women with the artists Louie Riggall and Jessie Traill? Family, friendship, service and art all play a part.
