Audley End

Explore the beautiful 17th-century mansion and service wing, the Coal Gallery and top-floor nursery. Then, there's plenty more to see outside with the kitchen garden and resident horses in the stable block. Meet our costumed characters from May to October with our expert-led Discovery Visit.

Expert-led Discovery Visit available where pupils explore the life of a Victorian servant. Meet Mrs Warwick, formidable housekeeper to the Braybrooke family. Students are divided into two groups. While one group finds out about life as a servant and tries activities with the housemaids in the education room, the second group is left in the capable hands of Mrs Warwick. The groups then exchange places. Students are encouraged to come dressed in Victorian costume, and aprons are provided.

Up to 30 for the Discovery Visit and small groups around the house. Larger groups can explore the gardens and stables.

Free bookable education room with chairs is available and can seat approximately 20 pupils at a time.

Site staff are First Aid trained
