Kent

We've been busy preserving Knole's treasures in our new, state-of-the-art conservation studio. Now, the doors have opened for you to come and see what it's all about first-hand.

From furniture to frames, our conservator team will care for over eighty percent of Knole’s collection over the next two years. Find out what they are most looking forward to.

Four historic Showrooms have been transformed. Painstaking conservation, new lighting and environmental controls bring the collection to life like never before.

The summer's made for walking, and that's just what we'll do. There are estate routes at Chartwell, or all-ability paths around Knole Park. Whatever your walk, make sure to get out into the countryside on our trails in Kent this summer.

Shine a spotlight on the county's tucked-away treasures with our little Kentish gems. Make it a family affair at Owletts or look beyond the house to discover a different side to a British hero at Chartwell.

Emmetts is a small site with big plans. Head Gardener Matthew Scott takes us behind-the-scenes of a long term project in the South Garden, to restore this area of rare and exotic plants.

Dom the deer keeper invites us into the heart of the herd in Knole Park. From casting antlers to the first fawns of the year, find out what spring and early summer mean for the medieval deer.

Ranger Jonathan is reinstating the lapsed wood pasture at Cobham Wood. His team is stabilising and prolonging the lives of veteran trees, to provide a future for rare deadwood invertebrates.

We look after a range of houses and unusual buildings in Kent, from the home of a great politicians to a moated manor with 700 years of history.

Discover a variety of gardens and parks in Kent, from the garden rooms of formal gardens, to rose gardens created by Prime Ministers' wives and exotic plant collections.

Do you want to walk along cliff tops and view the English Channel? Or climb hills for stunning views across the countryside? There's something for everyone to enjoy in the coast and countryside sites we look after in Kent.

Treat Dad to a lovely day out to celebrate Father’s Day at one of our special places in Kent. From fishing at Ightham Mote to music at Owletts, there's plenty to show him how much you care.

Many of our places in Kent and East Sussex were home to, and shaped by, people who challenged conventional ideas of gender and sexuality. We join the dots between the people whose collective story started over 150 years ago.

Membership makes a vital difference, but doesn’t cover all our restoration and conservation work. Additional gifts to our general funds help us act quickly wherever the need is greatest. Find out how your support can help Carmen save centuries old objects at Knole.

Why not join your local supporter group in Kent? You can join a more active volunteers group, or come along to a centre or an association that focuses on fundraising and fun trips and tours. They help support our places like Ightham Mote, and Scotney Castle.
