Our festive tour this year takes us to the magnificent Penshurst Place which has been home to kings and noblemen for over 650 years.
The house has belonged to the Sidney family since 1341 and they warmly welcome us for our private visit where we learn about the history of the family and the house, tour the magnificent Baron’s Hall, State Rooms and Buttery and in the afternoon enjoy specialist tours of the furniture, porcelain and needlework as well as learning about Medieval life, Art and Politics. Lunch will be served in the Sunderland Room with its mullioned-windows, part-panelled walls and views across the garden. Fires will be lit and the house decorated for Christmas.
£90, including coffee, coach, festive lunch, wine, tea, mince pies.
