On Wednesday 12 May we have a salvage day exercise at Osterley Park and House.

We do this regularly at all our properties to help us be prepared in the unlikely event of a fire. Please don’t be concerned if you see the exercise in progress - with staff in high visibility jackets, hard hats and bringing objects out of the building. The National Trust takes fire safety and the protection of our historic places very seriously. We’re grateful for the support of the fire service in helping with our training.
