I have vague (and rather limited) recollections of going to some sort of open day/event there in the mid-90s as a young child.
A fair few activities for the youngsters - circus skills and (if I remember correctly) a range of weird and wonderful modified bicycles with interesting methods of propulsion such as pedalling backwards to go forwards and suchlike.
The other memory being that lunch was a massive jacket potato absolutely slathered in butter ('axle grease', as the chap serving it up described it) and cheese. It's weird what strangely specific details we remember from such obscure events, isn't it? |  |

Actually something like that rings a bell with me, although I would have been much older. Or maybe I just saw the community featured on TV. |  | | |

I went to a party there about 35 years ago. I seem to recall we slept in a chapel part of the building, between the pews at the side where the choir would sit. |  | | |

I used to deliver flour there a few years ago. It was a very strange place. I remember going into the kitchen/Hall which was a very large open room with a small mezzanine floor at the back. There was a lady baking bread using the oldest, blackest tins I have ever seen. Sitting at an old wooden table were a family of 4, two adults a boy and a girl. They were all reading. Upon the mezzanine floor was a man playing a mandolin. Nobody said a single word. It was like I had been transported back 200 years. I found the whole experience very strange. |  | | |

I don't want to be the guy correcting people, but it's Old Hall.
I've been there for a few family events, inc a wedding. It's great!
Not sure I'd want to live there though, but the people that do seem to love it and they do all help each other out. | |

You're right to do so, and I've corrected the OP. | | | |
