Avebury

Avebury Manor is a truly unique experience; it's a 16th-century manor house where, unlike most other properties, you are allowed touch the furniture, lie on the beds and handle the pots and pans.

Fun and learning for all the family in the museum. The museum is split into two galleries; the interactive display is in the Barn Gallery and the archaeological finds are displayed in the Stables Gallery.

We offer a guided walk around the stone circles, or you can download a walk to explore by yourself. We also have a number of specialist guided walks throughout the year.

Once school's out for Summer and the holidays begin we have something going on every day at Avebury for your little adventurers. They can take part in an archaeology afternoon or curate their own museum, they can get involved in 50 things Friday and children's yoga or get competitive with Avebury sports days.

To celebrate the Lammas Day harvest festival, Avebury will be holding a traditional crafts and food market in the Old Farmyard. You’ll be able to browse a range of stalls and be tempted by delicious food and stunning artisanal gifts. Please note that most stall holders will only be able to accept cash.

Relax in the beautiful garden of Avebury Manor as you take part in a rejuvenating outdoor yoga session with local instructor, Cheryl Parr. This popular yoga session books up quickly, so sign up online early to avoid disappointment. This is the perfect way to start your day in a tranquil and secluded garden.

An opportunity to chat to the Head Gardener, Simon Brooks, to discover more about Avebury Manor Garden or ask a question to solve a problem in your own garden. Afterwards you can enjoy a stroll around the many garden rooms, all different in character. Free with entry to Avebury Manor and Garden.

Once again in the nooks and crannies of the Avebury Manor garden there are exciting works of art to be found. Turn a corner and see a stylised head in stone, stroll down Lion Walk and encounter ceramics nestled in the borders or wander into the Church garden and find a glass mosaic – all with the perfect backdrop of this beautiful and tranquil garden. The exhibition runs from 26 August to the 1 October. Garden only tickets available. Click to find out more.
