This special tour is a rare opportunity to ascend into the attics of Harewood House, now a trove of collections as well as an evocative glimpse of times gone by.
Your expert guide will show a small group around rooms filled with history, bringing to life the stories of people who worked at Harewood since the 18th century.
Included after or before your tour is a lunch in the Billiards Room.
At the end of your tour, please remember that the gates will remain closed for the season and so you will need to depart the site once the experience has ended.
Menu
Winter Walled Garden Vegetable Stew or Slow Cooked Beef Stew served with crusty bread and butter

Winter Weekends Tours FAQs
We can cater for dietary requirements but it’s essential we know in advance. Send us an email to info@harewood.org if you have any questions about the lunch menu.
Park up in our Main Visitor Car Park and make your way, on foot, to the front door of the House where a member of the Harewood team will meet you.
Harewood is closed during the winter weeks so we kindly ask that you leave site when your tour or lunch ends. Our Winter Weekend tour programme means you can get exclusive, guided access to Harewood.
