The Manor opens from 11am-5pm (last entry 4:30pm) - where you can explore the home of Victorian Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and learn more about Hughenden's secret role in WWII.
Discover our art exhibition in Hughenden's studybase, led by Buckinghamshire's Visual Images Group. Enjoy the work of local artists inspired by Hughenden's current exhibition, Ink, pens and paintbrushes; writing history at Hughenden.
In September, our garden and parkland will be starting to show its autumnal colours. Choose from one of our waymarked walks around the estate, relax in the pleasure grounds or orchard or take the little ones to burn off some energy in our play area.
You can visit our Stableyard café and treat yourself to refreshments, lunch or even, if the weather allows, freshly scooped ice-cream! Then have a look in our shop opposite to take home a piece of Hughenden. We stock a good range of books, including Disraeli's own works, homeware, and delicious jams and curds for yourself or the perfect gift.
