Group Visits
Introduction
Holkham is much more than a stately home, and our numerous attractions offer visitors a memorable day out. A visit to Holkham is a perfect excursion for groups, organisations, societies and coach parties and we are happy to liaise with tour operators, travel companies and social secretaries to create an individual package for a visit.

We recommend parties remain together until everyone’s tickets have been distributed.
It will take you approximately one hour to visit the hall, one hour to visit the Field to Fork Experience and a further hour is required to visit the walled garden.
Guide Books are available to purchase from our Ticket Office or the Gift Shop at £5 each. The guide is full of background information on the ancestry of the Coke Family, the state rooms in the Hall and also gives a further insight into the rest of the Holkham Estate and its various enterprises. Alternatively there are knowledgeable stewards in the state rooms to answer visitors’ questions.
After your visit to the Hall you can consider a spot of retail therapy in our Gift Shop, with its wide range of tasteful gifts and souvenirs. Alternatively relax and enjoy some refreshments from the Café. The self-service café serves everything from tea and sandwiches, to a variety of delicious cooked local produce.
