Access
Due to the age and nature of Haddon Hall access for visitors with restricted mobility, including wheel chair users, is very challenging with many uneven floors and steps without handrails. We wish to avoid visitors being disappointed to find that they cannot access the Hall, so if you are in any doubt please do read our more detailed Accessibility Statement or ring the Estate Office on 01629 812855 before you visit.

Children under 16 are most welcome to visit Haddon free of charge. Lord and Lady Edward Manners hope that this will encourage more children to visit their home, and that this will help foster an early interest in history.
Much of our annual Events Programme is targeted to family fun and we recommend you visit our events page to find out more about our child-orientated experiences, such as archery, crafts and historical re-enactments, which are scheduled throughout the year.
We also provide age-appropriate children’s activity questionnaires at the Duke’s Tower entrance, which are sure to delight our younger guests, allowing them to explore and learn in a fun engaging way.
Please note that children under 10 are welcome to stay at the Peacock between Monday and Thursday, but sadly not over the weekends.
Explore our events calendar to see what we have in store.
Unfortunately, we cannot allow large bags, prams, pushchairs or mobility scooters into the Hall. We do, however, offer a variety of alternative baby carrying equipment, and safe bag storage at the entrance.
Buggies can be stored under the arch of our stable block, and we have baby changing facilities in both the Hall and stable block.
Parking
Our car park is situated across the road from the Hall and grounds, on the opposite side of the A6.
The distance from the car park to the Hall is approximately 366 metres and includes some gravel surface and 30 steps. We ask that visitors take special care when crossing the busy A6, especially with children, and note that the car park can become extremely crowded during special events, in which case, overflow parking is provided in the field beyond.

Every Monday (except during our Little School of Sorcery in October and our Christmas opening), we run Free Guided Tours of the Highlights of the Hall for our visitors. These run at regular intervals throughout the day and are included in your admission price.
As the above are more tailored to adults than children, we have recently launched our Free Guided Tours for Children which run on Tuesdays during the Summer school holidays.
Please visit our Events page for more information.
Whilst you are visiting Haddon, don’t miss our Mercatum Artisan Pop-up Boutique in the Gatehouse, where some of our gifted and fascinating artisans showcase the wonderful range of products they make. They will be delighted to meet and chat with you and to talk about their inspiration and creative process, and we hope you will feel stimulated and excited as you explore their creativity and talent. You may even be tempted to buy something beautiful and unusual to give as a gift to a loved one or to bring joy and beauty to your home.
We welcome all visitors to Haddon Hall, but please note that there are many uneven floors and steps around the site due to the age and architecture of the building.
If in doubt, we recommend reading our full accessibility statement below, or call ahead for further information.
