Guided and Specialist Interest Tours

Your visit to the House can be self-guided, or for a supplement of £1.50 per person, let Lord Harewood take you around the State Apartments in his audioguide commentary. Either way, there are always stewards in all the rooms to give you more information.

Alternatively, for a supplement of £4 per person (£6 in European languages) you can benefit from having your own guide take you around and share with you anecdotes about Harewood and the family as well as in depth knowledge of the House and its contents.

In this special centenary year of the Girl Guide Association we celebrate the life of HRH Princess Mary, The Princess Royal and past president of the Association with a special tour which explores her life of service to this and other charitable causes. Download more information here.

Tours of the Gardens are also available for a supplement of £4 per person, explore the gardens with one of our gardeners to find out more about the past, present and future plans for our award-winning gardens.

For the personal touch we make sure that however large your group you will be in a smaller party of no more than 15 people.
