In the park
In the park
With 1,000 acres of medieval deer park, Knole Park has enough wildlife and historical mystery to tempt anyone. Over the year we run a variety of guided walks, in the park and out to other National Trust places, as well as family walks and children's trails.

Activities for adults
Almost all our activities are educational in one way or another, and the range of things to choose from goes from behind-the-scenes tours to a lesson in making a Christmas decoration from natural materials.

Early music
Early music
Knole is fortunate enough to have several musical ensembles who visit us to perform live music from hundreds of years ago. Many play pieces which are rarely heard anywhere else – medieval songs and dances, or music which has not been widely performed for hundreds of years. And it's all free.

If you live in or around Sevenoaks, you may meet us at a local holiday event, such as West Kent Extra's Play Days, or the District Council's Family Fun Days. We bring craft activities with us, and like everything else on the day it's completely free. Come and find us.
