House Closures

As we move through the seasons, the House may be closed at various points throughout to allow us to change exhibitions, and ensure the care of our Museum Accredited collections.

As an independent educational charity, we’re dedicated to the conservation and care of the Grade 1 listed House, along with the beautiful associated buildings, gardens, and grounds. We’re also an accredited museum, responsible for an internationally significant collection of art, furniture, and interior design. This vital work requires substantial funding so that we can preserve this historical and cultural treasure for future generations to enjoy and learn from.

Please see below the House closure dates for 2024.

Autumn Season

• 21st – 25th  October State Floor + Below Stairs closed, Terrace Tearoom to remain open
• 26th October – 3 November East Side of State Floor closed
• 4th – 14 November House closed, Terrace Tearoom Open

Please note these dates are subject to change.

Due to window conservation work, some rooms may look different and may occasionally be closed during your visit. This is part of a significant and vital project to maintain the historic structures of our Grade-I listed House, generously supported by the Museum, Estate and Development Fund (MEND), part of Art Council England’s Cultural Investment Fund.
