Experience our new Visitor Centre
Our Visitor Centre opened in late 2010. With touch-screen displays about the house's servants, an amazing illuminated model of the house and more, you can easily get an overview of Knole in a short time.
Activities for families and children
Our range of activities for families and children will spoil you for choice. A single day at Knole could include a game of Tudor skittles, a cream tea and an ambush of the King's army. What will you do?
Partially-sighted visitors
If you have a visual impairment, we can assist you in a number of different ways, from tactile drawings to volunteer guides. Speak to us in the Visitor Centre and we'll be delighted to help you.
