Knebworth House
BOOKING FOR THIS EVENT WILL OPEN IN FEBRUARY 2026
The romantic exterior of Knebworth House with its turrets, domes and gargoyles silhouetted against the sky does little to prepare the visitor for what to expect inside. The House has stood for many years longer than the Victorian decoration suggests; the stucco hides from view a red brick house dating back to Tudor times.
We will have coffee on arrival at Knebworth, followed by a guided tour of the house covering its history and that of the Lytton family. We will visit the Banqueting Hall, the Dining Parlour, the State Drawing Room and Bedrooms.
Following a break for lunch, which is included, we will have guided tours of Knebworth's formal gardens led by an estate gardener.
The gardens are delightful throughout the season. The 28-acre formal gardens include a maze, colourful borders, fine trees and a wilderness area with an exciting Dinosaur Trail, so there is much to explore.
