In September 1939, Waddesdon Manor was transformed for the arrival of 100 evacuee children from Croydon, making the House their home during one of the most uncertain periods in history.
Join us to discover how the Manor changed during the War years and see the House as you have never seen it before with its splendid rooms evoking the life of the children.
Dorothy de Rothschild will be your guide with her first-hand account of how the House and family adapted to wartime.
This immersive journey through the House is free with your Standing with Giants Grounds Admission.

Standing with Giants
21 October – 29 November | 10am – 4pm
Standing with Giants is returning to Waddesdon Manor with their D-Day 1476 installation.
The display is created in partnership with Standing With Giants, a community-based project which works to raise understanding and appreciation of our freedom and to remember and pay tribute to those who gave their lives so we could live ours today.
