17th-century house with renowned gardens and collections of art, ceramics, needlework and musical instruments. Open Fri and Sun, pre-booking required for house.
Finally got to see @NTFentonHouse’s amazing collection of 17th, 18th, and 19th-century embroidery today and what a joy it was! What a stunning array of stitching! Special thanks to @askeyjames for meeting with me, sharing my enthusiasm, and fielding my many questions
@MetaFatigue Hi Matthew, thanks for your interest. We're not able to hold a full Apple Day this year but are making our apples available for visitors to take home when we're open on Fridays and Sundays. The rest are being given to a local food bank. Hope to see you at the house & garden soon!
@myNTyear @southeastNT Thanks so much for sharing these, they're really lovely and we'd love to RT them if that's okay? There's just one we should have told you isn't available to photograph as it doesn't belong to us: the harpsichord in the third picture from the end, would you mind taking that off?
Please note that Fenton House and Garden is closed to visitors from today until Sunday inclusive, due to unforeseen circumstances. If you had booked a visit, we apologise and will be in touch soon. We'll be open again as usual next Friday.
@MissAMWestcott Apologies Alexandra, I (Jo) only work Fridays so I don't think we know each other, but hope to see you at the vols' party soon! Thanks again for sharing the news about the film.
@ElaineMRockett Thanks so much for visiting, and for sharing your experience in this lovely and informative blog! Hope to see you again.
Could we just ask you to remove the photo of the Ruckers harpsichord, as that's a loan and not available for photography? Apologies that this wasn't mentioned.
Please note that both Fenton House and the garden are closed to general visitors from today until Sunday inclusive, as we are hosting an event. We'll be open again as usual next Friday.
Later today we will be opening bookings for workshops at the Idler festival exclusively for ticket holders... make sure you don't miss out!
