Holkham Hall online: information and bookings

Holkham Hall is one of Britain's most majestic stately homes, situated in a deer park of 3,000 acres, on the beautiful north Norfolk coast. This classic 18th Century Palladian style mansion is a living treasure house of artistic and architectural history. Home to seven generations of the Earls of Leicester, Holkham has something for everyone, from the magnificent state rooms in the hall to the tranquil lakeside picnic spots.

The Bygones Museum is an evocative collection of over 4,000 domestic and agricultural artefacts, with exhibits as diverse as Victorian money boxes and early traction engines. The adjacent History of Farming Exhibition is aimed to help understand how a great estate such as Holkham works and has evolved. Discover about "Coke of Norfolk" and his role in the great agricultural revolution of the 18th Century." Really useful presents, including craftsman-made pottery, beautiful pictures and delicious food from the gift shops, art gallery and restaurant. Picnic in the park and watch the wildfowl on the lake. Boat trips available on open days. Miles of glorious golden sand on the lovely Holkham beach.

Holkham has won a prestigious gold award as ‘best small visitor attraction of the year’ in a national tourism competition.
