Experience Standing with Giants in a truly unforgettable way with exclusive early morning access to the grounds before Waddesdon Manor opens to the public. As dawn breaks over the landscape, watch the sunrise illuminate the powerful silhouettes and enjoy a rare opportunity to explore the installation in the peace and stillness of the early morning. Created by Standing with Giants, the moving For Your Tomorrow installation commemorates the 1,476 lives lost under British command on D-Day. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Waddesdon’s grounds, the life-sized figures create a striking and thought-provoking tribute. With the grounds quiet and the first light of day casting long shadows across the landscape, these special dawn openings offer a unique perspective on the installation and a chance for peaceful reflection before welcoming daytime visitors.
