Step inside and explore impressive rooms designed by leading architects, while discovering how the house has changed and been used by different people over the centuries, from an aristocratic home built for entertaining to a school and visitor attraction. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, offering engaging stories and insights into this internationally significant heritage site.
Throughout the year, you can also experience a wide range of events, including behind the scenes tours, lectures, concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, stargazing, art workshops, and family friendly trails.
During school holidays, you can explore at your own pace and visit the on-site museum, featuring hands-on interactive exhibits for families, as well as the shop and café. As an independent charity, every visit helps support a local cause and ensures Stowe House can be cared for and enjoyed by future generations. Stowe House is part of the Historic Houses membership scheme, offering free entry for members and discounted rates for National Trust members. A welcoming and memorable experience awaits all.
