Family-friendly things to do in the house

Storytelling room

Spark young imaginations with games, costumes and books inspired by the magic of Antony.

Dressing up

Our youngest visitors can start their visit by getting dressed up in the storytelling room before they make their way around the rooms. Curtseying and bowing to our house volunteers is encouraged.

What to look out for

There are two children who call Antony their home – Jemima and Lucian Carew Pole. As you walk around the rooms, what can you see that shows they live here? Are there any toys left around the rooms? Who can you see in the photographs?
