The event takes place from 2pm - 5pm at the West Street property.
Little Orchard House has a surprisingly large and lovely garden in the heart of Rye’s citadel and also harbours the so-called ‘Smugglers Tower’, a four-storey building constructed in 1768 by the Proctor family - prosperous merchants who made a lot of money possibly through less than legal means and hence the tower’s name.
