A self-guided visit to Harewood is the perfect option if you wish to meet specific learning goals, or simply treat your class to a lovely day out this Christmas.
This year, interior designer Siobhan Murphy (TV’s Interior Design Masters and Interior Curve) has transformed Harewood with her signature maximalism, bold patterns and joyous colour.
Follow the story of our glittering host as she welcomes guests for dinner before the evening unfurls into the Gallery where gowns and tailcoats swirl beneath twinkling Christmas lights.
