Discover the story behind Peckover house and gardens...
Peckover House and Garden is open from Thursday to Monday, 10.30am - 4pm, with access to the house from 11am 3pm (last admission 2.30pm) from 13 March.
No advance booking is required and access to the gardens is free.
Peckover House is one of the county’s finest examples of a classic Georgian town house and offers a glimpse into the past with a history dating back to the 18th century. The garden provides access to a hidden oasis, in the heart of town.
Highlights for 2025 include a new exhibition centred on the Cabinet of Curiosities, showcasing more items and stories from the Peckover family’s travels, than have previously been on display.
The Peckover family were Quakers and lived a very simple lifestyle, whilst also running a successful private bank. Inside the house, visitors can explore the Banking Hall, Library and Dining Room, featuring panelled rooms, Georgian fireplaces and intricate carvings.
Younger visitors are encouraged to look out for a new hedgehog trail later in the year, which celebrates the arrival of Fred, Flower and Hope, rescued and rehabilitated hedgehogs, which have been released into the garden, by Emma’s Hedgehog Hospital.
