Welcome to Scalford Hall

This lovely old house has had a chequered history and it is fitting, now, for it to rise above the past and to be the home of The Preserving School. Settled into the heart of the Leicestershire countryside a warm welcome awaits everyone searching to learn more about food and understand the methods of preservation. From the moment you arrive you will sense the peace of the surroundings and find it easy to unwind and appreciate the special energy of The School. Whether you are with us on a one day workshop or an extended stay you will leave re-energised and buzzing with ideas that will stay with you for a long time. You will make new friends in a relaxed and supportive setting which will make learning new skills that much easier. When you leave us there will a new confidence supported by knowledge that will literally be life-changing - simple adjustments, new skills learned from the old ways plus an awareness of modern life that will be, yes, life-changing.
