The historic country house is nestled among vast green fields and trees under a cloudy sky, offering a timeless setting for visitors to explore, unwind, and create lasting memories.

We make memories

A richly decorated room in this elegant gallery features ornate wallpaper and gold-framed paintings, reflecting Harewood’s rich history. Among the three small portraits and two large ones is a prominent painting of a woman in a white dress, a reminder of the individuals who shaped the estate’s past. A blue vase rests on a wooden cabinet below, evoking the timeless craftsmanship and heritage of Harewood, Yorkshire's most vibrant country house.

We recognise history

A young girl wearing a denim blue playsuit with a white crochet collar waves a stick she found along the Lakeside path, embracing the spirit of adventure. Surrounded by nature, she explores with curiosity and excitement, discovering the simple joys of the outdoors at Harewood.

We encourage adventure

A woman with ginger shoulder-length hair and a fringe smiles as she looks through a structure of garden twine and willow branches, where beans grow below. Surrounded by nature, she enjoys a moment of tranquility, reflecting how Harewood nurtures wellbeing through green spaces, growth, and connection to the outdoors.

We nurture wellbeing

A woman in a patterned dress holds an ornate fan in a room reminiscent of a museum with classical decor. Standing before a large portrait of HRH Princess Mary, she is surrounded by paintings, a fireplace, and glass cases displaying fans. The carefully curated setting reflects Harewood’s deep commitment to preserving and celebrating its collections, ensuring their stories endure for future generations.

We care deeply

A young girl with dark brown hair pulled into a bun holds up a handheld mirror, gazing at the reflection of the ornate ceiling above her. Standing in the middle of the Long Gallery near a window, she sees the intricate details from a new perspective.

We challenge perceptions
