SUITABLE FOR

Everyone

Discover an intimate perspective on the history of Osborne through our winter guided tours of the house! 

Join us on selected days from 9 November through to 14 March this winter for an extraordinary journey through time as you step into the grandeur of Osborne, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's beloved royal residence.  

During these special guided tours, you'll have the unique opportunity to delve deep into the stories and secrets of Osborne’s royal household. Uncover the hidden stories of this magnificent estate and gain insights into the roles that were essential for its prosperity. Our knowledgeable staff members, wearing what Thomas Newell, a former footman, and Mrs. Smith, a former housekeeper would have worn whilst they were servants at Osborne, are ready answer any questions you may have. 

Access to the house will be exclusively through guided tours on these days. We highly recommend reserving your spot in advance to secure your preferred time slot, as capacities are limited.
