Join us for a day of discovery at Nostell, as we open our doors for free as part of Heritage Open Days. Step inside one of Yorkshire’s grandest houses and explore the stories behind its design - from visionary architects to stunning parkland buildings.
Explore at your own pace inside the house, where you’ll find original Robert Adam architectural drawings.
If you'd like to delve a little deeper, there is an opportunity to take part in a special architecture tour led by our knowledgeable team and uncover how leading designers shaped Nostell’s look and feel over the centuries. (booking required, limited places - see events page to book).
Younger visitors can also become Architecture Detectives - grab a clipboard and search for clues to spot the difference between Adam and Paine’s designs.
Outdoors, pick up a Gardens and Parkland Architecture Trail and take a self-guided stroll to discover the stories behind historic buildings like the Obelisk Lodge, Menagerie House, and the Stables.
Our woodland playground and wild play spaces in Joiner’s Wood are perfect for kids to burn off energy.
Bring a picnic or stop by the café for homemade lunches, sandwiches, and sweet treats.
