Swarthmoor Hall, found on the outskirts of Ulverston, is set to finally reopen its doors in time for Easter.

The hall is a Grade II Listed historic house surrounded by peaceful gardens and grounds, two miles from the coast.

Swarthmoor is known as the cradle of Quakerism thanks to Margaret Fell’s marriage to George Fox. The couple founded the Quaker movement in 1652 and Swarthmoor became the headquarters for the new religious movement.

The current owners said: "Over the last four years we have extensively refurbished the Hall and worked on producing an enhanced visitor experience.

"We’re still putting the final touches to the historic house, which will gradually reopen fully until this summer.

"We’ve also planted new flowers in our gardens, reviewed our café offer and restocked our shop with a selection of gifts and some crafts from local makers."

Doors will open on Friday March 29.
