Our note

This is the flexible option: no booking, no fixed start time, and you set the pace, which matters with young children who may not last a full guided tour. Check the hours before you go, because they are seasonal and change during private events.

What the children do

Visitors may drop in during open hours and go through the house at their own pace, with no booking required. Tour information is available on entry.

Move through the rooms of the house at their own pace, reading the information handed out at the door.

Good to know

Drop-in during open hours, admission by donation, no booking needed. Hours are seasonal and the site asks you to phone ahead to confirm.
