Visiting Knightshayes

Group visits are very welcome here at Knightshayes, but we ask that you please book in advance.

House, garden and large print guides, parkland maps, raffle-tickets and of course, National Trust membership are available from reception.

To see all we have to offer, we recommend allowing at least three hours. Large groups may find it easier to stagger their visit by splitting into two groups, one to explore the garden while the other looks round the house to prevent over-crowding in the house. Unfortunately we have limited availability for group bookings over Bank Holidays.

To make a booking please call 01884 254665 or download the booking form and email it back to us. Please call a couple of days before visiting to confirm numbers if possible.
