Access inside Ham House is by tour on weekdays throughout November, with free-flow access on weekends (open 12-4, last entry 3.30 on Saturdays and Sundays). 

This allows our staff and volunteer team to carry out important conservation work on the house’s 17th-century interior during a quieter time before the festive season begins. These 45-minute tours are a chance to get up-close to conservation work, see some of Ham's most spectacular rooms, and hear about how we look after the objects and buildings in our care. 

Tour times:  

11.30, 12*, 12.30, 1.30, 2*, 2.30 

*Level access tours at 12 and 2. 

Tours run subject to volunteer availability. 

No advance booking. Please sign up at Visitor Welcome on the day of your visit, first come first served. The site opens at 10am daily.  

If you’d like to explore the house at your own pace, we recommend visiting on a weekend in November, or joining us from Saturday 30 November to see the house sparkling with golden decorations and candlelight for Christmas. Please note, the whole site is closed on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 November while we get ready for the festive season.

During weekdays in November, our conservation focus month, see inside Ham House on one of our behind-the-scenes tours
