Today we say farewell to Darren Cool, “Mr Northwood House.” It has been one almighty journey to this point. Darren, whilst working with the Charitable Trust, has been instrumental in the transformation of Northwood House over the last 12 years, taking it from a near-derelict building to a flourishing, multi-purpose events venue at the heart of Cowes.

Darren has always operated under the philosophy of making Northwood “the place to be.” Whether you have celebrated a wedding, attended one of our comedy and jazz events, danced the night away this summer at the Cowes 200 celebrations, browsed or exhibited at our garden and Christmas fairs, or simply walked around the now glorious park and grounds, we think you will agree that this mission statement has become a reality.

We have included a few photos to give a snapshot of the incredible journey so far, a few from the start and a few more recent 📷.

Rest assured the trustees, staff, and volunteers will continue this journey and deliver the ongoing plan to restore and improve Northwood House & Park but this seems like a opportune moment to reflect on the amazing job done already with Darren at the helm.

Everyone here at Northwood House would like to say a massive thank you and wish Darren all the very best. We look forward to you checking in here, Darren!

🙏🙏 Darren J.Cool Esq 🙏🙏
