Putting the House to Bed Tour

Step inside the house while it is closed for winter and see behind the scenes on this guided tour.

  • Booking essential

Whilst Waddesdon is closed during the winter months, discover how the house and its collection are ‘put to bed’ and cared for by our team of conservation stewards.

During this one hour tour, explore the house in its ‘put to bed’ state with a knowledgeable Waddesdon guide. On this tour, you will enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the rooms in the house, explore inside the collection stores, learn about the conservation techniques used to care for the collection and view the academic apartments, never normally open to the public.

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to explore the hidden rooms of Waddesdon.
