Visit the House, Gardens and spooky trail
This October half term the house and gardens are open every day from 11am to 4pm.
Grab your wellies and blow away the cobwebs. It’s the perfect time of year to explore the house at your leisure.
Little visitors can discover bats and ghosts on our spooky trail, collecting stamps as they go to earn a free treat from our tearoom. Will you join Team Bat or Team Ghost?
One of England’s finest and most beautiful Tudor Houses, surrounded by a broad fish-filled moat. Original Tudor service areas little altered. Acquired as a lifetime project in 1970 when costs deterred all others. Main rooms improved in Gothic style in 1825 enhanced idiosyncratically since 1971 by the current owners. The extensive family friendly Gardens are enjoyable in every season.
Scaresville

Locals whisper of an old village that appears in darkest Suffolk every year. It is here that the thin veil that separates our world from the Other side is stretched thinnest. Ghosts, ghouls and other creatures stalk the night and intrepid adventurers are said to be able to cross through. They talk of it as a Haunted Village. They call it Scaresville.
