Once the largest private house in England and Elizabethan England’s greatest house, then a royal palace of James I and a prison to King Charles I, Holdenby House is now a private family home welcoming visitors to its Grade I garden, Icarus Falconry Centre and The Old Stableyard Tearoom.
Sitting on a hill overlooking 2,000 acres of rolling countryside, its suite of elegant state rooms open onto beautiful Grade I- listed gardens with borders designed by Rosemary Verey and Rupert Golby, making it an enchanting and ever popular venue for weddings.
The combination of grandeur and intimacy also make it a magnificent location for corporate dinners and meetings, while the spacious grounds have accommodated many large events from Civil War battles to food shows and Formula One parties. Holdenby has appeared in the BBC’s acclaimed adaptations of Great Expectations and The Woman in White.
The Education Department, which has won more awards than any other house in England, delivers innovative living history projects, where staff and pupils are in character for a range of activities.
Visitors can enjoy Sunday garden openings and other special event days with stunning flying displays from Icarus Falconry. The gardens and falconry centre are open on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from April to end of August, 11am-4pm. House opens on Bank Holiday Mondays only, 12-3pm (last entry 2.30pm)
