Between 16 January and 22 March 2026, Harewood will be open to the public Friday – Sunday only. With exclusive tours and experiences on Thursdays.
As an independent educational charity, we’re committed to the conservation of the Grade I listed House, its historic gardens, and the stunning grounds that surround them. As an accredited museum, we also protect an internationally significant collection of art, furniture, and interior design, ensuring its legacy for future generations.
To support this essential work, the House must close at certain points during the year, allowing our team to carry out vital conservation and maintenance tasks.
Winter Weekends is Harewood’s version of a big spring clean! Scroll down to see everything happening at Harewood this Winter.
