HEMERDON HOUSE OPEN DAYS
We regret that there are no more Open Days scheduled for this year. Next year’s dates will be posted on this page by 31st October 2025. In the meantime, general details are below, and please feel free to email us with any queries at hemerdon.house@gmail.com.
GENERAL OPEN DAY INFORMATION
We offer two guided tours per day on specified days during spring and summer. The first tour begins at 2.30pm and the second at 4pm, and each lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
EXPLORING THE GROUNDS ON OPEN DAYS
Between 2pm and 6pm on Open Days, our visitors are welcome, at their own risk, to explore the parkland, pond area and walled garden. (Please come to the house first, though, to let us know you’re here.) We ask you to bear in mind that the terrain can be very uneven in parts, and we advise waterproof footwear if the weather has been wet. Dogs on leads are permitted in the grounds.
BOOKING
There is no requirement to book unless you’re a party of 6 or more. Having said that, it’s worth bearing in mind that our maximum capacity is 15 people per tour, and if you’d like us to reserve a place for you, you’re very welcome to phone ahead on 07704 708416 or email us at hemerdon.house@gmail.com.
If your party is between 6 and 10 people, please phone or email in advance as we can’t otherwise guarantee that we’ll be able to accommodate you.
Tours for groups of more than 10 people are offered by prior arrangement only, and will be accommodated outside the public Open Days.
