Nostell
Overview
Georgian treasure house, landscaped gardens, parkland and stables courtyard.
Nostell's Georgian house is home to a huge collection, including six of the "125 Treasures" explored in the Trust's recent book. Discover the detail of our globally-renowned dolls' house (newly displayed for 2021) alongside a wealth of mastercrafts including decorative interiors by Robert Adam, one of the first long case clocks made by John Harrison and world-class collection of Chippendale furniture.
Nostell's 300 acres of gardens and parkland include wildflower meadows, rippling lakes and majestic woodland, from the winding paths of the menagerie garden to the regimented beds in the working kitchen garden that supplies the courtyard cafe. Entry charges apply to the gardens - see price tab for details.
The gardens are home to the adventure play area (charges apply - see above). Retail therapy is on offer in the courtyard shop seven days a week and the secondhand book shop as many days as possible.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
*Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
Please note...
National Trust members park free. Non-members: £5.00 per car.
If you'd like to visit the gardens and play area when they are open, admission is in addition to the car parking charge. Please pay by card at the garden gate or show your National Trust membership card.
We're sorry but dogs are not permitted in the play area, gardens (which includes the middle lake) or treasure house (except for assistance dogs).
Please be aware that sections of the playground are currently closed off, awaiting essential repair work.
