OIn the summer, traditional lawn games are placed in the garden for your family enjoyment, and we recommend you visit our events page to discover child orientated events, such as archery, crafts and historical re-enactments, which are scheduled throughout the year.
We also provide age appropriate children’s activity questionnaires at the Duke’s Tower entrance, which are sure to delight our younger guests, allowing them to explore and learn in a fun engaging way.
“We hope that with the history they will encounter and the experience they will share with you, that our young visitors will leave charged by the past. Haddon has something special for everyone and we hope you and your family have a wonderful, memorable day.”
— Lady Edward Manners

Our recently renovated restaurant is available to be enjoyed by both ticket holders and members of the general public alike.
Situated in the 17th Century stable block adjacent to the Duke’s Tower entrance, the restaurant provides a wide array of delicious dishes to suit all tastes and moods; from sumptuous fine dining to traditional afternoon tea, refreshing light lunches to tempting coffee-time treats.
Children are very welcome in the restaurant, with a children’s menu and lighter selection to suit their appetites. We are also able to provide high chairs for babies and toddlers. For larger families, we recommend calling ahead on 01629 810913 to reserve a table, especially at weekends and during busy periods.
