Out of interest, having just revisited their website,I cannot find anywhere on the particular pages which I have perused any statement that Halsway Manor is claiming to be "a National Centre of Excellence".They do,however, state that their aims are to "further raise the profile of Halsway Manor as a centre of excellence for the folk arts that is accessible for all". That's a slightly different thing IMHO, and indicates that that is what they are striving for. All power to their joint elbows! And for anyone who hasn't seen details of what they get up to, it might perhaps be worth putting up this link to the Halsway Manor website
