Celebrating the many hands who made Clandon
West Clandon, Guildford, Surrey, GU4 7RQ

An 18th century Palladian mansion designed by Giacomo Leoni, decorated by leading European sculptors, and built to impress, Clandon Park was transformed by fire in April 2015. The Clandon Park Project is conserving and re-presenting Clandon - celebrating the surviving building and the many hands who made the house. A welcoming, fully functional building will host a range of displays, events and activities - creating a unique way to understand and enjoy a country house. We're balancing the delivery of the Clandon Park and Hinemihi projects with opening to visitors, and so the house is sometimes closed while conservation and construction works are carried out. There will be individual events throughout the year and the garden is open in the summer. The house is set in a peaceful garden ideal for a stroll, children's play, and an informal picnic. Please, always check the website before travelling.

Our Clandon Park Project plans were unanimously approved by Guildford Borough Council Planning Committee on 6 March 2025, giving the go-ahead for the project to conserve and renew Clandon as a welcoming, engaging, and fully functional building.
