Festive event featuring six playable board games
Devised and designed by Isobel Power Smith and Suzanne Burlton
Goose, creature and playing card illustrations by Isobel Power Smith. Other game card illustrations by Poppy Heading and Sasha Fusini. Technical management by Piran Jeffcock.
All of our game cards are based on portraits at Sudbury Hall. The dragons in the game "Dragons and Ladders" are inspired by an antique Chinese screen at the property and the wooden beasts in the Long Gallery are based on creatures in the ceiling's plasterwork. The property is frequented by geese, and is also in possession of "The Game of the Goose", one of the world's oldest board games.
