Chartwell Highlights Tour: Leadership and Legacy
Join one of our expert volunteer guides on an intimate tour of select rooms in the house at Chartwell, focusing on Sir Winston Churchill's leadership in times of both peace and war, and the lasting impact of his legacy.
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
Running Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays), our highlights tour takes you around the house at Chartwell with one of our knowledgeable volunteer guides.
Please note that as this is a highlights tour, it doesn't include access to all rooms of the house as a regular visit would. Those wanting to see the whole house will need to obtain a timed ticket to visit the house on a self-guided basis. Please also note, that the 'Leadership and Legacy' tour route for 2025 does not include access into Sir Winston Churchill's bedroom.
If you wish to also visit the gardens and estate, please feel free to arrive earlier than the time listed which is for the tour only. Normal admission into the gardens will still apply.
