Thanks to Priory Bay Hotel for sponsoring this feature. Ed
Here’s a real treat for Archers fans. Book dinner at Priory Bay on 8th October and you’ll be able to meet Brian Aldridge and Shula Archer.
Having been invited to lunch at the hotel in Seaview by the owners earlier this summer, we can definitely recommend eating at Priory Bay. Our three-course lunch was delicious.
Dine with Charles Collingwood and Judy Bennett
If you’re going to sample the cuisine, why not dine in the company of Charles Collingwood and his real-life wife Judy Bennett, and listen to Charles chat about his life and role as Brian in the hugely popular radio show, The Archers.
Charles met Judy when he was working on a TV puppet series. Judy was already working on The Archers at the time and Charles was later invited to join her on the radio programme, playing the role of wealthy gentleman farmer, Brian Aldridge.
If you don’t listen to The Archers, you may remember Charles from Hotel Babylon, Midsomer Murders, London’s Burning or Inspector Morse among others.
We understand that he’ll also be signing copies of his book “Brian and Me” (your chance, perhaps, to pick up the perfect personalised Birthday or Christmas gift).
Special offer for those staying at the hotel
If you’re planning to visit the Island for the dinner and talk and have booked to stay Friday and Saturday night, the hotel are offering a complimentary B&B for the Sunday night too.
For your chance to dine with Charles and Judy, simply make a reservation for dinner at Priory Bay on Saturday 8th October by calling 01983 613146.
