Festive Carlisle House Exhibition With Grand Masquerade Rooms
Wednesday evening the Carlisle house opened late to reveal a grand display across its lower rooms. The concert room and red room showcased tea, lemonade, iced creams, and music while the gallery gleamed with lights. The upper rooms offered a botanical bridge garden, a Gothic arch hall with lamps, and lavish side-boards of hot fowls, pies, shellfish, desserts, and fruit for a Malégan t mood.
