Glastonbury-based construction firm Melhuish & Saunders Limited has recently announced a new partnership with Lionstead and Emily Estates.

The project involves the refurbishment and conversion of an existing building into a state-of-the-art Photo Studio and Test Kitchen at Avalon Farm at Galhampton.

The application was submitted by Emily Estate (UK) Ltd, the business behind the Newt hotel. Avalon Farm forms part of the large rural estate owned and managed by Emily Estate (UK) Ltd and provides produce for the hotel.

This exciting development will blend creative spaces with culinary artistry, providing a cutting-edge facility for photography and culinary professionals.

The project underscores Melhuish & Saunders Limited's commitment to innovation and their continued collaboration with renowned partners Lionstead and Emily Estates.

The planned Photo Studio will offer top-tier amenities for photographers and creatives seeking a professional environment. At the same time, the Test Kitchen will serve as a modern culinary hub for chefs and food enthusiasts to experiment and refine recipes.

The community can look forward to the enhanced artistic and culinary scene in Castle Cary once the project is completed, further establishing the town as a hub of creative and gastronomic excellence.
