Heritage Open Day at Charlecote Park

We're opening our doors for free for Heritage Open Days on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Come and explore the beautiful park, gardens and house at Charlecote Park for free. Explore the outbuildings, wander through the deer park, and find out about the collection at Charlecote Park.

Our friendly volunteers will tell you about the history of this special place – where Shakespeare is rumoured to have been caught poaching – and guide you through the site. In addition to the main house, the Victorian kitchen, laundry house, brew house and tack room are open to visitors.

During your visit, the souvenir shop or cafés will be open, so we've got you covered if you forgot your picnic!

Pre-booking is not available or necessary.
