Blickling Estate

This year we're telling a new story in the house, exploring the connection between Blickling and India's vibrant cultural history. What new discoveries will you make?

Come and explore our variety of gardens. Wander the wilderness, walk in the walled vegetable garden, stroll by the lake and let the borders bewitch you.

There's much more to Blickling than its famous house with 950 acres of woodland and parkland, and 3,500 acres of farmland - come and explore.

Biking or walking around the estate are great ways to see the historic landscape, especially with our new all-weather multi-use trail. Alternatively relax and take it in with a spot of fishing or horse riding.

The estate walk of 4.5 miles takes in all the best bits of Blickling’s ancient woodland with stunning views. Watch out for barn owls, seen regularly hunting for food across the park.

Bring the whole family to explore the woodlands, stumble upon the secret tunnels, follow trails by bike or on foot and have a go at some of our 50 things to do before you're 11¾.

Get ready for a night to remember and join us for Norfolk’s biggest dance party of the summer. A chill-out set in the first half will be followed by DJ Goldierocks playing the latest Ibiza tunes. As dusk falls, the lasers will hit the Blickling skyline as the Urban Soul Orchestra return to bring some of the best of the White Island’s dance tunes to orchestral life.

The National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Inglis, make their debut at Blickling to celebrate British music. They will be joined by Classical Brit Award winning Welsh male vocal group Only Men Aloud and Soprano Annette Wardell for performances of Proms favourites, closing with a spectacular firework display.

Hungry after a long walk or looking for somewhere to grab a coffee and chat, you'll find a great choice of food and drinks in our three on-site eateries and local pub.

Whether you're looking for a gift, a hidden gem in the stamp shop or bookshop, a piece of local art or plants for your garden, money spent in the Blickling shops goes back into the conservation of the estate.

If you're ready to have a new start this year or a change in career, then why not look at our current vacancies.
