Things to do
We’ve got history by the bucketful(don’t forget your spade).
How will you spend your day at Holkham?
We have a vast array of attractions, events and activities to choose from, as well as many diverse landscapes and habitats to explore. Choose from exploring historic state rooms to grand glass houses and cycling adventures to bird watching at sun rise.
Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, young or old, you’ll find something that floats your boat (yes, you can take to the water on our lake come summer too!). Children will enjoy our high Ropes Course and Woodland Play Area, whilst you may prefer a scone and cup of tea in one of our cafés. Everyone relishes our beautiful Walled Garden, and Holkham Hall can never fail to impress.
Accessibility
We have worked with AccessAble so you can find out about our facilities before you visit. AccessAble’s surveyors assessed our venue to create Detailed Access Guides for our attractions.
