Heritage Open Days 2026 Everyday Histories
Heritage Open Days 2026 Everyday Histories | © Heritage Open Days 2026

This September, as part of Heritage Open Days, we're opening the doors to Mottisfont's maids' rooms for a glimpse into life behind the scenes.

Visit Mottisfont for free between 11 - 20 September 2026 and discover the everyday work of the staff who kept a grand country house running smoothly.

Explore the servants' living quarters, learn about their daily routines, and meet some of the colourful characters who lived and worked at Mottisfont.

Join us to uncover the stories of the people whose hard work made life in the house possible – and celebrate the Everyday Histories that are often overlooked.

The Heritage Open Days festival is brought to you by the National Trust and supported by Postcode Lottery players, with an exciting programme of events delivered locally by thousands of organisations and volunteers.
