Holderness House

This event invites members of the public to visit Holderness House, the former home of Thomas Ferens, Hull’s greatest philanthropist.

Welcoming small groups at a time, the public will be able to see the grounds and selected areas of the main house which have not previously been open to view. This will be an exciting opportunity to share the history of the building and the story of the man who gifted it to the City.

Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic to enjoy the grounds. In the event of bad weather, the solardome or dining room can be used.

A number of rooms will be open to the public including the main entrance and stairway, Library, Lounge and a number of rooms on the ground floor which will be set up with information on Ferens and the history of the home.

This public event forms part of a series of stakeholder engagement events as Trustees consult on the future community use of this historic site. Local residents and other stakeholders should contact [email protected] for details of other events which may be more suitable.

Each event has its own booking URL.
