Guided and Specialist Interest Tours 2012

Your visit to the House can be self-guided, or for a supplement of £1.50 per person, let Lord Harewood take you around the State Apartments in his audioguide commentary. Either way, there are always stewards in all the rooms to give you more information.

Essential Talks and Tours

Alternatively, for a supplement of £4 per person (£6 in European languages) you can benefit from having your own guide take you around and share with you anecdotes about Harewood and the family as well as in depth knowledge of the House and its contents.

Tours of the Gardens are available for a supplement of £4 per person, explore the gardens with one of our gardeners to find out more about the past, present and future plans for our award-winning gardens.

Also let one of the Keepers guide you around the Bird Garden for a supplement of £4. You’ll find out all about some of our most popular species and the conservation work we do.

For the personal touch we make sure that however large your group you will be in a smaller party of no more than 15 people.
