The gift shop at Knole

Knole's shop can be found in the old Estate Office in Green Court and welcomes visitors to browse at their leisure. You can choose from the National Trust seasonal collections of homewares, bags and accessories, as well as Knole souvenir items, food and drink, plus local items made by craftspeople in Kent.

Seasonal items to inspire and refresh your home

Every season, a new collection is released inspired by a National Trust property or outdoor space. Inspiration can come from many areas - the flora or fauna of an outdoor site, the detail on a wooden panel or a piece of embroidery. Every collection has a story and a heritage, reflecting the diversity of the properties looked after by the National Trust.

This season, the theme is Riverlands. The exclusive prints have taken inspiration from rich foliage-lined riverbanks, grass wetlands and the buzzing wildlife found in these tranquil places. Through elegant textures, bold hues and intricate details, the collection celebrates how healthy rivers, streams and wetlands support the environment and redefine places they run through. The collection also highlights how nature’s waterways nourish and inspire us with their sights and sounds of beauty.

Food and drink treats to take home

If you enjoy a jam, pickle or chutney, then take your pick from the National Trust range. Whether you prefer a classic strawberry jam on your scone, or something a bit more unusual like passionfruit curd, you'll find something to appeal to your taste. Or if savoury tickles your tastebuds more, then why not try the pear, orange and ginger chutney with your cheese and crackers? There are plenty of ciders, juices and British wines to accompany your choice.

Souvenirs of your visit

For the perfect momento of your visit to Knole, there are pens, pencils, notepads, bookmarks, puzzles, boxes of biscuits and guidebooks to choose to take home with you. Every purchase helps support the conservation work carried out by the National Trust at Knole.

The bookshop at Knole 

Knole’s bookshop is a destination in its own right, filled with a carefully curated selection of books relating to Knole, its inhabitants and the local area. Unlike other National Trust bookshops, we don’t sell secondhand books at Knole, these are all brand new books.

With such a rich literary heritage attached to Knole, we’ve titles by Vita Sackville-West, Virginia Woolf, Eddy Sackville-West and the current Lord Sackville, as well as biographies written about them and their ancestors. There is also an extensive collection of National Trust publications, covering gardening, cooking, history and nature with topical and seasonal displays to tempt you further.

Calling budding bookworms

For younger visitors, we’ve got a dedicated section just for children to enjoy. From children’s classics, to picture books, sticker books to fact and fiction, we’ve also some current bestsellers and activity packs which are sure to keep active minds engaged for a few hours. There are also some pocket money toys to choose from, jigsaws and souvenirs.

Cards, calendars and diaries

In need of a birthday card or some wrapping paper? You can find these in the bookshop too. Plus for those planning ahead and wanting to get organised for 2021, take a look at the range of diaries and calendars that will fit into pockets, sit in a drawer or hang on your wall. 

So next time you’re visiting the showrooms at Knole or walking in the park, take a bit of time to browse the shops. Every purchase you make from our shop, helps us look after special places like Knole and fund our conservation work. You may come away with a few items you never knew you needed!
