Tours on the hour 11am – 3pm
Pre-booking recommended, tickets on arrival are subject to availability.
Join one of our special tours and travel through time. Be entranced by the stories of a house and a family. The tours span almost 1000 years of history witnessed on this one, hilltop site. From William the Conqueror through to modern times the Tower has witnessed the lives of the de Hoghton family and welcomed many famous visitors. It is said that some of these people still make their spectral presence felt on occasions around the house. Let our knowledgeable and friendly guides lead you through history at Hoghton Tower.
The guided tour lasts approximately 1 hour and includes the State Bedroom, the Ballroom and magnificent Banqueting Hall as well as a host of other rooms, all with their own amazing stories.
Please be aware that this tour does not include the Underground or the Well House.
Tours start promptly at the time booked, please arrive a few minutes before your advertised start time to allow time to walk from the car park and to book in.
The house can be cold at this time of year, so please do wrap up.

Our gardens are now closed closed for winter (November – March)
DOLLS’ HOUSE COLLECTION: Available on selected dates only.
There’s something timelessly fascinating about the magical, miniature world of the dolls’ house, and we have plenty of vintage ones to exercise your imagination.
Peep through the tiny windows of over 70 of them, from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and discover the detailed, immaculately-executed little worlds within. We’re grateful for the many kind donations we’ve received over the years which have enabled this one-of-a-kind exhibition to grow.
