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 per tour, and if you’d like us to reserve a place for you, you are 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.

COVID-19
We want everyone to enjoy their visit safely, so while a Covid risk remains please:

  • Remember to bring a face covering with you. We are unable to supply these, but we ask you to wear one at all times while indoors.
  • Follow government guidelines on social distancing and hygiene.
  • Don’t visit if you are self-isolating, or if you are aware of any possibility that you, or anyone with whom you have come into contact, may have contracted Covid-19.
