Harvington Hall is an absolute treasure! Well worth a visit. A credit to Worcestershire and to the volunteers who work extremely hard to make this incredible house what it is. Special Mention to our friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and entertaining guide Lynne, Thank you very much for our tour. A guided tour is a must, 2 hours worth of history, intrigue, wonder and beauty. I would suggest that the tour may be a little too long for younger children however the grounds and house are delightful and would be fine for families to visit. The gift shop is well stocked and displays locally made produce, the Malt House Coffee shop looked very welcoming and had some delicious looking cakes, unfortunately we didn't have time to indulge this time, but we will return!! Harvington Hall also has events through the year such as Elizabethan living history events, Artisan Markets and Garden parties.
Fantastic history, amazing place. Loved it. Definitely take a guided tour ( Mitch was a brilliant guide). Learned a lot...preist holes amazing to see....and so much more. Really felt all the staff loved the place and were proud of it. Gardens looking great
Very informative tour guide who knew several histories: the persecution of the Catholics, the development of priest hides, Elizabethan construction and decoration and the ownership of the house. Everyone we met was very friendly including the manager. Tea shop was excellent. Grounds were very peaceful. We were able to do the full 75 minute tour of all floors using a walking stick as the stairs all have handholds, there are usually chairs to sit on in rooms where you stay longer.
We had a lovely visit, they have restored many of the areas and there is a coffee shop who charge reasonable prices, this place is well worth the visit. Reasonable entry prices and plenty of parking, we chose the none tour guide option so that we could wonder at our pace.
Well worth a visit. Has many original Elizabeth an features and lots of priest holes. Excellent guided tours. Highly recommended. Access is via narrow road.
