Spend time with Belton's mansion team below stairs this season and see how we care for the basement rooms and collection. From Monday 4 to Friday 22 November (inclusive), the upstairs of the mansion will be closed so the team can work their festive magic and decorate the showrooms for Christmas. While this is happening, we’ll run Spotlight on Conservation tours in the basement on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Discover the high clean taking place in the Chapel, explore the Stewards Room, and view Belton's important silver collection in the Strong Room.
Spaces are limited, but you can book your slot in advance here. Please note that rooms may be colder and darker than usual so please wear warm clothes.
Some tickets are kept aside for walk-ins.
Christmas in the Mansion will open daily, 23 November - 5 January from 11am - 3.30pm (last entry 3pm).
