Shuttle Service
Harewood has a volunteer-led complimentary shuttle service for those requiring mobility assistance. The shuttle is wheelchair accessible and can take you from the main entrance to the House, Courtyard and Church. If you would benefit from using this service, please ask a member of staff or follow on-site signage.
Please note that as this service is run by volunteers we cannot guarantee that it will be running every day. If the shuttle is not in service during your visit, please notify a member of the team if you require any assistance and we will try to find an alternative.
Wheelchair Hire
Wheelchairs can be hired from the House or Visitor Information in the Courtyard. There are five wheelchairs available to hire daily.
The House
Wheelchair users can access the State Floor using a wheelchair lift at the front of the House. We also have a wheelchair lift Below Stairs, please ask a member of staff if you need any assistance.
Wheelchair users can access the Terrace Tearoom via the Terrace Garden, with the use of a wheelchair ramp. Please ask a member of staff if you need any assistance.
Our admission policy enables essential carers for adults to access Harewood free of charge, whilst the normal membership or admission fee applies to the disabled visitor. All you need to do is pre-book your ticket online and then your carer’s ticket will be issued at the gate.
Prams and strollers are not allowed on the State Floor or Below Stairs to protect our collections and floors from damage.
Large bags and Suitcases are not permitted in the House and will need to be left in vehicles, or in the Entrance Hall.
What3Words is a location app. Every 3 metre square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words that can be shared with friends and family, emergency services and more to pinpoint locations easily.
