JC Ryders  Take a trip down memory lane... For almost all of his life Jack Ryder was making a museum complex on his property in Avondale, where he lived with his wife Margaret and family. The complex includes a private cinema as well as an Old English Pub, old service station and a restaurant that serves old fashioned roast dinners (just how nana used to cook). There is no better way to spend the day or an evening than at Ryders for a famous roast dinner and movie. FAQs  Minimum age requirements to enter the event? Yes, 16+ allowed.
