Brodsworth Hall and Gardens offers a fascinating and unique
journey through time. From the luxurious life of England’s landed
gentry more than a century ago right up to the late 1980s,
Brodsworth proudly bears the marks of over a century’s continuous
occupation. Today, the house exists as a picture of faded Victorian
grandeur, a once-beloved family home, rich in history. Outside, you
can entertain your guests in one of the country’s most authentic
nineteenth-century gardens, newly restored to its 1860s design with
unusual ‘garden rooms’, national collections of plants and original
features such as the Fountain, Summerhouse, and Fern Dell.
All enquiries are considered on an individual basis, but the
following is just a flavour of what the site can offer clients:
Behind-the-Scenes Tours
Discover the secrets behind family life in a Victorian country
house with Brodsworth Hall’s team of on-site experts. There are a
range of themes to suit any interest – contrasting upstairs &
downstairs life, exploring the curious story of Victorian interior
design and the clues which reveal the personalities of the family
who lived here, or following the trail of painstaking conservation
which allowed this unique home to be opened to visitors.
Special Exhibitions
Each year, special exhibitions and trails delve a little
further into some of the more fascinating aspects of Brodsworth
Hall. In 2004, Maids & Mistresses explores the role women
played at Brodsworth Hall, both upstairs and downstairs. There are
also exhibitions on the servants, and the family photographs.
Drinks Reception
The impressive marble hall with its colourful Italianate scagliola
and elegant statues makes a welcoming reception area. Maximum
capacity 50 guests.
