Need help arranging a visit? We've got it covered

A successful group day out is all in the planning so we like to make sure that you’ve got all the tools you need to make the most of every visit.

There are gardens for every season, collections for every taste, tours for every interest and great places to enjoy the perfect lunch or afternoon tea. Time to get planning…

Groups Guide
Your indispensable guide to great days out, featuring all of our houses, gardens and special places across 8 regions. As well as giving you details of the properties, catering facilities, opening times, coach parking, location and other nearby attractions, the guide also suggests ‘quick stops’ where you can stop to use the facilities without paying an entrance free, tells you what’s new and where you can enjoy a delicious lunch with a view to match.

Take a look through the guide and discover hundreds of fascinating special interest tours on all sorts of incredible subjects. From gardening to ghosts, literature to films and furnishings, these popular tours make an entertaining addition to any group visit. Whatever your group are interested in, you’ll find a tour to suit.
