Behind closed doors: Cellar Tours at Arlington Court

Ever wondered where the original kitchens were, where servants once worked, or what lies beneath the main house at Arlington Court? Now is your chance to find out.

Join one of our guided cellar tours and step below stairs to explore a fascinating part of the house that has never before been open to the public. These spaces, dating back nearly 200 years, were once the working heart of the estate.

Today, the cellars are used for storage, but their walls still reveal clues about how they may once have been used. While few written records survive and the exact purpose of some rooms remains uncertain, our guides will share what we can uncover from the architecture, layout and physical evidence that remains.

This tour focuses on the design and structure of the cellars, offering a rare chance to explore hidden spaces and piece together the story of how this part of the house might have functioned in the past.

Tours are free, but normal admission applies. Please enquire at reception upon arrival if you wish to join a tour — they are first-come, first-served, so space cannot be guaranteed.
