Dr Buck's House Open Day

Dr Bucks House, Market Place, Settle, North Yorkshire, BD24 9EF

  • 14 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking preferred

Explore Dr Buck's House - a derelict Georgian Townhouse being restored to community use in Settle.

Book in for a short tour of Dr Buck's House, the North Craven Building Preservation Trust's newest property, and find out how we plan to restore the building to community use through provision of housing and a new museum all about Edward Elgar's connection to Craven. Elgar spent many happy summers a guest of his friend Dr Buck, and regularly visited the house which bears his name.

Due to the building's state of repair, access beyond the front room is by booked tour only.

Access to the front room, featuring a display about our plans for the building, is possible at any time between 10:00-16:00.
