Clandon Park appeal

Following the fire in April 2015, that left our 18th-century Surrey mansion a shell, we have spent the last two years working towards its future

Clandon Park fire

Clandon Park was one of the country’s most complete examples of a Palladian mansion and contained an important collection of 18th-century furniture, porcelain and textiles. Remarkably, we saved more than 600 items, which now need conservation and care. You can help by donating to the Clandon Park appeal. All money raised is kept in a specific fund for Clandon.

How the appeal adds up

  • The fire in 2015 damaged 95% of Clandon's interior
  • We were able to save over 600 artefacts
  • The ground floor will be restored to its original 18th-century glory

The salvage phase 

At the end of July 2016, following just over a year of work, we completed the initial phase of our project. Learn more from our team about the remarkable finds that survived the fire.

Sharing our progress since the fire has been really important to us. This year we’ve been able to go further and have extended the walkway originally built in 2016, further into the house for visitors to see our work to date.

Clandon Park International Design Competition 

Through our International Design Competition we’re searching for a world-class multidisciplinary design team to restore and reimagine Clandon Park, following the major fire. The competition launched in March and following the shortlist announcement, the winning team will be revealed this autumn.

" Our plans involve returning parts of the house to its 18th-century glory whilst at the same time creating a building of beauty and relevance for the 21st century."
