National Trust - Hanbury Hall

Wow, what an amazing place! The house has lots of information around it, and they also had a seasonal display in the history of Halloween and bonfire night upstairs.The gardens are large and hard to find your way around. The kitchen garden was in the walled garden. The cafe was busy but still got quick service. It also had some delicious cakes!

Lovely national trust site, with beautiful gardens, orchard, grounds. Sheep, chicken, deer. We went on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and never made it to the house. We'll be back for that sometime soon. The cafe was a nice modern addition to the site. Free parking.

A super day out to see the 70s/80s Christmas display. Very well laid out, great exhibits, helpful staff. A nice cafe in the old stables and a walk round the gardens.

Really enjoyed the imaginative 70s/80s themed Christmas displays and had a babysham from the bar!! The house has been kept in great condition, and from what I saw of the grounds they looked well cared for too.. but it was a little too damp to explore them all. Two cafes on site.. just missed a NT shop!

I'm a regular , repeat visitor , in all seasons .I love the journey there down the surrounding country lanes .The new cafe is light and airy , and if you can't get a seat , there are more inside the old building. Their Cream tea is a favourite. Great walks to be enjoyed on the Estate.

Great time at Hanbury Hall seeing their 70s and 80s Christmas nostalgia.It was busy but there is plenty of space. The gardens are great even at this time of the year.Excellent walks.Loads of parking and it's free to park.

Beautiful house and gardens, absolutely stunning views. There is an entry fee, however being a National Trust member entry was free. There is a good size car park on site. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots to see inside the house both ground level and first floor. Gardens are well maintained with lots of bits to explore, there are additional walks which are marked on a handy map that is given on entry. Cafe and toilets on site. I always find the cafes a little pricey at these places and gluten free options although available are very limited. I would advise take a picnic instead. Definitely worth a visit and will make a return trip.

A crisp winter's day and the first day of the 70's &80's Christmas party theme in the house. Lovely walks and a wonderful visit. Excellent knowledge about the house from one of the docents.Enjoyed our snowball drinks too!!

Used my free ticket to visit here. Beautiful building - and fabulous wall paintings in the hall and stairs inside. Enjoyed wandering around the rooms examining the furniture, ceramics and paintings, plus reading the informative signs. Could have spent longer outside in the gardens and parkland but it was a lot colder than I expected despite the sunshine. The yew hedges were wonderfully clipped with razor sharp edges and corners so hats off to the gardeners. Had lunch in the new courtyard restaurant - baked potato with cheese - could have done with some butter and twice as much cheese as only had a tablespoon! The homemade slaw was good. Had lemon drizzle as pudding - not bad!

We visited Hanbury Hall on a Friday afternoon during gorgeous sunny weather. I had a free day pass for National Trust from In Your Area and decided to visit Hanbury Hall as it’s local and we’d never been. It’s simple to find with plenty of signage and with ample parking.I thought the visit would comprise of the hall and gardens, so I figured it would be something nice to do for a couple of hours, but there’s so much more. When we arrived, one of the tours had just started. We would listen in and out of the tour guide talking given that we hall an active toddler so moved through the house at our own pace. There were a number of crochet bees hidden in different rooms and I thoroughly enjoyed looking out for them.After we finished at the hall, the exit takes you to a courtyard space with a tearoom. We grabbed a couple of cakes and a kids sandwich for the little one. They do a kids lunchbox (5 items for £5.25) which I think is a good price given where we were. We found a table outside to enjoy the nice weather in the shade but there is also indoor seating available.There’s a lovely play area which was a bit big for my 21 month old but he still enjoyed himself, plus 3 walks of varying lengths, going through the grounds. We chose the shortest one at 1.2km given how hot and sunny it was.Coming back to the house, we visited the gardens, where there was a lovely bookshop, an orangery, a mushroom house plus more open space to explore. Unfortunately, it was getting too hot so whilst we’d had a good walk about, we didn’t complete everything.The price is normally £14 per adult and my little one was free.
