February half term: Truelove's trail

Can you help the Truelove, the Butler, prepare for the Legh family's return in the house?

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The family are due back after half-term and there's plenty left to do! On this interactive family trail collect your pinny, mobcap or white gloves in the house for your little ones to become a housekeeper or a hall boy at Lyme. Set the Dining Room table for dinner, clean the Grand Stairs and imagine what it was like to be a servant in the Edwardian golden age or head to the dressing room transform into a member of the family and surprise the servants early.

Inspired by Walter Truelove, who was described by the Legh family as a "perfect butler."
