HouseSee behind the scenes of Waddesdon Manor
Join us for a 60-minute behind the scenes tour exploring the rooms where the servants lived and worked, and finding out how we use these areas of the house today. Learn about the conservation techniques used to care for the collection and view the academic apartments, never normally open to the public.
Led by a knowledgeable Waddesdon guide, you also have the opportunity to explore the well-loved Treasury and Wine Cellars.
A Rothschild Treasury is located on the top floor of the Manor via stairs and the Wine Cellars entrance is accessed via steep stairs.
A member of staff will go with you in a lift to the second floor. You will then need to be able to transfer yourself to a chairlift, and back again. If you require an alternative access route, please email enquiries@waddesdon.org.uk at least 48 hours in advance of your visit.
