Our exhibition in the state rooms of the hall centres around the lives and personalities of the wives and daughters of the Coke Family. We trace back through the generations of the Earls of Leicester and report on the women who have helped shape Holkham's history.

Archival footage, photographs and press cuttings and a display of personal wedding and evening dresses have been brought together to tell a fascinating tale. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to learn more about the family that has lived here for almost 300 years.

The exhibition can be viewed when the hall is open from 1st April to 31st October 2011 on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays, 12noon-4pm.
