Perhaps your group would prefer a special evening visit. Choose one of the 1 hour tours opposite or one of the tours below and then combine with a superb meal in our Licensed Lady Walk Tearoom. (Minimum of 20)

Tour with the Housekeeper
Take your group on a tour the Servants’ Quarters with Mrs Bonham, our formidable Housekeeper who will detail aspects of her role and life in 1871. Look at the chores involved in the kitchen and laundry - would you have been suitable to be a maid or servant?

Your evening will be rounded off with a meal in our tearoom.

Flour to Flan
Your group will be met in the farmhouse by the Master Miller and the cook, who will serve elderflower wine. After a tour of the farmhouse, half of your group watch the miller milling our own Shugborough flour and the other half can help the cook make the perfect loaf.

For an extra £2 per person, the groups can swap over, so all members try both experiences. Your group will then enjoy a farmhouse meal served in the Granary room.
