This early-morning entry slot is intended for people who would prefer a quieter and calmer environment to experience the House. It is suitable for individuals or families with members who have sensory processing differences, autistic spectrum conditions or other sensory needs.

During this time we will reduce capacity in the House so there will be fewer visitors. We will also make some changes to reduce sensory input, including turning off all audio and video screens in the House. If there are other changes that would make your visit easier, please contact us to let us know in advance.

As part of our early opening, you will be able to explore the House and garden, and have the opportunity to take part in some family friendly activities.

The Historic Kitchen will be reserved as a quiet area for those needing to take a break. In good weather you may also wish to sit in the garden, which is very peaceful.

You can check out the layout of the House in advance by looking at our virtual tour.

For this Quiet Visit, the House will be dressed for Christmas!
