Do you drift off during guided tours? Feel overwhelmed by reams of information and dates? LOVE Calke Abbey but fancy something a bit different? Calke Unlocked is the solution you didn't know you needed! Keep scrolling to see how you can hop on a tour.
Calke Unlocked, what's that?
High-energy, loads of fun, interactive and just a little bit naughty.
Our unique tour leaders are experts in the obscure and collectors of hidden stories. Together you’ll uncover behind-the-scenes snippets, share scandalous secrets and backstories, and explore the forgotten nooks and crannies of the un-stately home and its surrounding buildings.
It’s brand new for the National Trust – so come and play games, take photos and maybe learn some tasty anecdotes to wow your mates at the pub. We're now offering Calke Unlocked tours of the House and the Stables (never before explored!), so there's two tours to choose from.
"
It’s essentially the weird lovechild of Horrible Histories and The Crystal Maze."
Duration: 1.5 hours (time may vary depending on group size).
Price: £15 per person, park admission fee applies to non-members. No house ticket required.
Bring along: Some energy and an open mind (also a phone!).
Perfect for: Singles, couples, friends and small groups.
Age 14+ (some stories may get saucy so keep an eye out for family tours in the future).
Due the slightly wonky nature of the house, unfortunately this tour isn’t suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility, and only assistance dogs can come along.
