‘Churchill: Image and Power’ exhibition at Chartwell

Discover how Britain’s wartime Prime Minister became one of the most recognisable figures of the 20th century.

Thanks to generous donations and legacies from our supporters, the Uniform Room at Chartwell has been transformed. We are now able to showcase Sir Winston Churchill’s recently conserved uniforms on specially designed mannequins. These have been carefully posed to reflect how he stood, walked, or addressed a crowd.

See Churchill’s Siren Suit, the precursor to the onesie featured in the National Trust’s new book ‘100 Things to Wear’ as well as iconic uniforms and items which have never been exhibited to the public before.

To be among the first to see the newly restored room and uniforms before this part of the house is closed for winter conservation, purchase a timed-entry ticket for the house from the Visitor Centre before 2 November. The house is open on a timed-ticketed, self-led basis from 11.00am and last entry is at 3.40pm.

House tickets can be purchased from 10am on the day in the Visitor Centre on a first come, first served basis. When you arrive, the Visitor Welcome team will offer you the next available time slot.

To help those travelling from further away, a limited number of house tickets for afternoon timeslots are available to book in advance. Please see the ‘Planning your visit to Chartwell’ page of our website for further information.
