Relaxed House Opening
Sun 4 Jun, Sat 12 Aug, Fri 25 Aug & Sun 22 Oct
11am-12noon
HouseJoin us for a relaxed house opening for anyone who would appreciate a calmer visit.
Designed for neurodivergent adults and children and their family, friends or carers, the relaxed house openings offer a calmer visit to the historic house.
During this time we have a limited capacity, no videos and reduced noise in the house. We know that it can be difficult to stick to strict timings so we will be offering relaxed entry and exit time so that you can come in anytime within the hour. Our friendly and welcoming staff and volunteers are happy to help with any questions you have.
Sunflower lanyards and ear defenders will be available to borrow in the house. Sensory backpacks available to take into the grounds.
Opening times
The grounds will be open from 10am for you to explore, pick up a sensory backpack from our team.
The relaxed house opening will be from 11am – 12noon.
Please note that only the ground floor of the house will be open during this hour but you will be able to access the first floor and Bachelor’s Wing once the house opens to the general public at 12noon.
