Liberty Hall Pizza CollageSalon at Liberty Hall Pizza (Sunday, March 4, 2018) What is a “salon”? It’s a place where people discuss interesting topics of the day and enjoy each other’s company. Join us on March 4 for lively conversation and authentic Neapolitan wood-fired pizza, garden-fresh salads and more. We’ve got four interesting topics from which to choose (but no politics or religion!). Meet new people, eat great food and have fun. Registration opening soon!

 

Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm (Sunday, March 25, 2018) We are thrilled to once again bring the Bucks County Taste Dinner Club to the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Bucks County — although increasingly not a secret! Make a weekend of it and stay at the Inn. For more information about the Inn, click here. Details to follow.
