Deadtime Stories for Families
Enjoy an after-hours storytelling adventure filled with mystery, mischief and history.
- Booking essential
As darkness falls, gather in the Great Hall for a storytelling session inspired by the house's fascinating past.
Led by an actor portraying King Edward VII, a former visitor to the house, families will be immersed in atmospheric tales drawn from real local history.
Blending heritage, humour and gentle audience participation, Deadtime Stories offers a delightfully spooky, not scary, experience for children aged 6 to 12 and their grown-ups.
Every child’s ticket includes a hot chocolate, perfect for enjoying after the experience. The tearoom will also have a selection of sweet treats and hot drinks for adults to purchase and enjoy.
Please note each child/group must have at least one accompanying adult.
