Step into the past and discover life behind the scenes at Harewood in this lively, interactive tour through the House.
Travel back to the 1810s and meet the formidable Housekeeper, Mrs Ridshaw, as she sweeps you through the State Floor on a whirlwind introduction to life in service. With high standards and sharp eyes, she’s always on the lookout for potential recruits, so be prepared to impress.
Downstairs, the ever cheerful scullery maid Annie takes over, sharing the realities of servant life Below Stairs. With gossip, good humour and plenty of hard work, Annie offers a rare glimpse into what it was really like to work in a house like Harewood over 200 years ago.
This is a light hearted, family friendly tour, perfect for anyone curious about the people who kept the House running behind the scenes.
