Attic Tours: Venture into the voids

Accompanied by an expert guide, our behind-the-scenes tours exploring the attics, hidden passages and the servants’ stairs of Holkham Hall take you right up to the highest tower rooms and attics.

Find out how the servants managed to flit between the grand State Rooms without being seen and how they serviced the State Bedchambers, where royalty once slept. Learn where Princess Victoria’s Ladies in Waiting were accommodated. See where the fantastic collection of manuscripts were once found, when Coke of Norfolk inherited the Hall. You will even see what lies behind the beautiful ceiling of the Marble Hall and hear how it was made. This is a rare opportunity to see parts of the Hall not normally on public display. Oh, and the views over the park from the Tower rooms are delightful.

The Details

Be aware! These tours are not for everybody. You will need to climb seventy stairs to the top of the house (and seventy stairs down again!) so do wear sensible shoes. This is a tour of a working environment and some surfaces may not be clean – please don’t wear your best clothes. There is no access to water on the tour route so we recommend bringing a water bottle.
