Hylands House opens its doors to reveal the secrets behind its history with an exhibition displayed in the library – this month’s exhibition is ‘World War I and II/Military Hospital’.

Enjoy children’s activities in the banqueting room themed around this month’s exhibition.

The Stables, home to a vibrant community of artists, designers, and makers, will be open for exploring and live music will be on throughout the day in the courtyard. Discover unique handmade pieces available to purchase, or get creative yourself and book one of our experiences or workshops.

Mike Dodsworth is back with his popular storytelling sessions.

Live music will be playing at The Stables throughout the day, thanks to Hot Box Live.

Be sure to come hungry, as Urban Food Fest will be joining us with delicious street food available just outside the house. There will also be handmade gifts and freshly baked goods for sale from local traders.

Hawthorn Heavy Horses will be providing estate carriage rides throughout the day.

While you’re visiting the Estate, check out our new History & Gardens Tour. Learn about the history of Hylands and its owners, as well as gain insights into what life was like for past and present workers on the estate. Borrow a handset from The Stables Information Point, or simply scan the QR codes on the sign posts with your smart phone.
