Behind closed doors tours at Stourhead House
Stourhead House, Stourton, Warminster, Wiltshire, BA12 6QH
Join our knowledgeable volunteer guides for a special behind-the-scenes tour into Stourhead's hidden attics, basement and cellars. Once family bedrooms, service quarters and stores, now storerooms and functional spaces, these areas offer a unique insight into the history of the house and the lives of the family and servants who lived there.
Tours last about an hour and may take in up to four floors of the house, climbing up and down many staircases, and accessing some confined and dusty spaces.
