The air is filled with excitement and anticipation as horses thunder down the track. Artistic expressions find their way into every corner here; Paul Cezanne's enchanting creation "Roses in a Bottle" evokes emotions that transcend time itself. And let us not forget Petronella Dunois' Dolls House from 1676 – a miniature world carefully crafted for endless storytelling possibilities. In this idyllic setting where passions intertwine and dreams take flight, Tilford embraces its residents' love for hobbies wholeheartedly.
