To help your party to uncover the treasure trove of secrets awaiting you at Haddon, we work with you to develop a bespoke group itinerary for your visit. This may include specialist guided tours, dining in our 17th Century stable block restaurant or simply a leisurely stroll around the grounds at your own pace; anything you need to create an ideal day out.
Possible themes include the following, though many more options are available to discuss and create for your experience:
We strive to create a unique experience for each group, so prices may vary depending on group size, visitor type and requirements. See below for our general guidelines, or be in touch to discuss how specific requests may affect costings:
Self-Guided Visits
Adults - £15.50 per person
Concessions - £13.50 per person
Guided Tours (March to October)
Groups of 10 or more - £17.50 per person
(It is possible to book a private guided tour for fewer than 10, but minimum charges will apply).
We ask groups to make one payment on arrival, by cheque, card or cash.
Tour durations may vary, but Hall, Garden and combined tours last approximately one hour. The cost of your tour also includes readmission into the hall and gardens, so you can return to view them at your leisure and absorb any details you may have missed.
Please note that we do not offer guided tours at Bank Holiday weekends or during Christmas opening. Tours on our normally closed days in January, February and November will have additional charges.
Our Tours Coordinator, Isabelle Stuart, will be happy to discuss your group’s visit with you, and help you select the perfect tour.
You can reach Isabelle on 01629 810912, or email isabelle@haddonhall.co.uk, to discuss dates and make arrangements.
Please note that Haddon is currently closed until 12th April 2019.
Between March and October, tours can be arranged from 9.30am, organised to suit the time of your group’s arrival. Our Gift Shop can also be opened, with prior notice, for visitors to purchase souvenirs as they leave the estate.
