Family Events
Explore the beauty of historic places in winter with our events for families. Wrap up warm and plan a day out together to visit stately homes, majestic ruins and medieval castles.
TIME TO EXPLORE
A selection of our historic sites remain open for local visitors and Members.
Local tier restrictions mean some parts of your visit may be different, and some sites may be closed. You can find the latest information and tier guidance on the individual site pages.
Your wellbeing remains our priority, and we have COVID-secure safety measures in place. Visits must be booked in advance.
Please check the tier guidance where you live, stay local (ie in your own village, town or part of your city) and avoid travelling to a lower or higher tier than the one you are travelling from. If you cannot visit due to Covid-19 restrictions, we will refund any pre-booked tickets. Please see here for details.
