Morning
Begin your day by discovering Mr Straw’s House, a 1920s home captured in time. This semi-detached house offers a glimpse into the past – you can see family letters, photos and household objects, all where their owners left them. There’s also an annual exhibition of the family’s belongings and a chance to hear the memories of people who knew the Straw family.

Please note that admission to Mr Straw’s House is by pre-booked timed ticket only. Please look at the Mr Straw's House property page for more information.

Lunch?
Why not stop in Southwell and have lunch in one of the tea-rooms?

Afternoon
Head south through the Nottinghamshire countryside to The Workhouse, Southwell. Built in the 19th century, it is the best surviving workhouse in existence. You can follow the path trodden by hundreds of paupers whilst exploring the segregated work yards, dormitories and cellars. The audio guide, which is based on archive records, brings the 19th-century inhabitants back to life in the empty rooms.

Extra day?
If you’re in Nottinghamshire for the weekend, you should also visit Clumber Park. With over 3,800 acres of parkland to explore, you’ll enjoy a walk in the woods or around the lake. Stroll around the kitchen garden, where the herbaceous borders look at their best in the summer months. Don’t miss the beautiful chapel, often described as a cathedral in miniature.
