House, Gardens & Adventure Play Opening

Enter Burghley House and tour the magnificent State Rooms with their historic and renowned collections of Fine Art including stunning 16th Century Italian Old Master Paintings, exquisite European & Oriental Ceramics, important Objects of Vertu and superb pieces of English & Continental Furniture.

Stimulate the mind, body and soul in the Gardens as the beautiful herbaceous plantings change with the seasons. Delight in the visual and sensory experience of the Garden Of Surprises, inspired by the Elizabethan fascination with astrology, astronomy and classical civilisations. 

Then take a moment to pause and reflect while enjoying green tranquil strolls amongst the undulating landscapes and this year's Sculpture Exhibition.

Inspired by the distinctive architecture of Burghley House, the Hidden Towers play structure is packed with multi-level play, climbing walls, wobbly walkways, lookout nests and more.

Two enormous slides provide big thrills for little people and an awesome rope bridge across a deep and craggy gorge to reach a tree top lookout platform takes the mission to the next level.
