There are also future plans for a country pursuits retailer, stocking shooting supplies and fishing tackle, a gents’ outfitter, an antique furniture shop and a garden around the Engine Yard.
There will also be a ‘wellness wagon’, a restored gypsy caravan offering holistic therapies and treatments.
Look at the lovely grounds!
The Duchess of Rutland, who is also the CEO at Belvoir Castle, said: “After so much hard work over the course of the project, it feels fantastic to be able to officially open the whole development to the public as part of a double celebration on my birthday.
“It is amazing to think back to the collection of dilapidated buildings, once used to service the Castle, which have become a vibrant centre for skilled entrepreneurs.
“We are always looking to provide more reasons for people to spend a day at the Castle, and are delighted that the Engine Yard is now able to offer something unique in the region. We want this to be a place for the local community to socialise and a destination for food, drink and crafts enthusiasts and there is still more to come.”
Stores are open seven days a week and free parking is available for visitors.
