Are you aware of a hidden gem within Clumber Park? Well this is The Park Inn Club. Originally, our building was Hardwick Post Office from around 1904, but after approx 60 years of trading this was closed. Some 20 years later a group of National Trust employees and residents approached the Trust to turn the former Post Office into a private members club for the use of the employees and residents of the park. The National Trust very kindly agreed to this proposal and over the years members and volunteers have kept this unique little gem open.

Some people remember the club as The Clumber Park Social Club we do still trade as this but in recent years have changed our name to The Park Inn Club. The word ‘Club’ is still added because we are still a private members club but that does not mean you are not welcome. A guest book is always available for you to sign and so we would like you to come and appreciate our unique venue.

A few years ago we were approached by the Clumber Park Cricket Club committee regarding the teams using our establishment as their regular ‘watering hole’ this was granted by the committee at the club. So if you like a social drink with friendly folk from all walks of life then we would be more than glad for you to enjoy yourselves at our unique establishment and we also hope that you can join us at any of out social event that we host throughout the year. (Please see the events diary in this fixture handbook). If you would like to know more information then please do not hesitate to get into contact with any senior member of the Cricket Club.

Many thanks for taking your time to read this. The committee and myself look forward to seeing you in the future.
