Duration/times
Private tours of the Hall take place on public open days before opening at 12pm and take one hour. Typically, your group will go into the hall at 11am or 10am and we will be pleased to advise this when you enquire.
Garden tours can take place during opening hours – the garden is large and tours can be accommodated whilst we are open to the public.
Arts tours are arranged according to your needs and the focus of your visit.
Themes
We offer Garden Tours with our head or senior gardener; House Tours led by highly knowledgeable attendants; and Arts Tours accompanied by an arts expert. We are always happy to tailor the content to suit.
Numbers and Price
Based on a minimum of 15 people, house tours and garden tours cost £12 per person per tour, in addition to the admission price. These take around one hour per tour. We will be pleased to talk through your requirements and confirm the most appropriate package. Arts tours are bespoke and priced according to your needs.
Groups of less than 15 people are asked to get in touch for a tailored package. Parties of 20 or more will be split to ensure the best experience.
Refreshments
Groups are welcome to visit the café for refreshments/lunch on a self-paying basis, and we can also arrange private catering in the South Wing from around £50 per person.
