A lovely 16th century house with a stunning Great Hall, where it is reputed Shakespeare once performed. Lots of activities for children particularly at Easter, during the August holidays and at Halloween. Plus there is an arms and armoury collection, lovely gardens with topiary displays and a children's quiz trail, plus an archaeological sand pit dig, a gnome hunt, craft making u2013 and Early Learning toys in a room in the house for smaller children while the others go around the house (NB a parent must be with the child). There are baby-changing facilities and a children's menu in the café. The house is open from March to October 1pm to 5pm, the gardens from 11am to 5pm, and during November to December the gardens are open from 12 noon to 4pm.
