<\/p>\n

More than two decades after they sold Croome Court, the Hare Krishna\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s are back for a festival which celebrates their time at Croome and their continuing relationship with the National Trust.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This massive weekend of food, fun, culture, celebration and dance kicks off on Saturday 27 August. Everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s invited to take part and thousands of visitors are expected to join in the festivities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Hare Krishna community owned Croome Court in the late 1970\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and early 1980s when it served as their national headquarters. After taking care of the estate and also stamping their own unique mark on it, the community there relocated to Bhaktivedanta Manor in Hertfordshire, which was donated to them by George Harrison of The Beatles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Croome\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Hare Krishna Festival welcomes the community\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s return for the weekend in a massive celebration of this fascinating period in Croome\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eclectic history.<\/p>\n
