Grand stately home announces spring open date perfect for March, April and Easter days out in Derbyshire
Haddon Hall is based around 29 miles or one hour’s drive from Derby city centre.
One of England’s most historically significant stately homes has announced its spring reopening date.
Steeped in over 900 years of history, Haddon Hall is home to Lord and Lady Edward Manners.
The magnificent fortified manor is a rare treasure of Tudor and Elizabethan architecture, nestled in the rolling Derbyshire countryside just outside Bakewell.
It is set to reopen its doors on Saturday, March 28 2026 where visitors are invited to explore its beautifully preserved interiors, enchanting Elizabethan walled gardens, and the rich heritage woven into every stone.
In addition to the spring awakening for Haddon Hall that aims to be a wonderful day out for the whole family, autumn experiences mean the Hall can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Throughout the season, free guided tours will run every Monday, starting from March 30, taking visitors through the rooms of the Hall and revealing the storied past of the estate.
Spotlight tours will also take place Tuesday to Sunday on the hour, where Haddon’s knowledgeable guides will share their favourite insights into life at the Hall over the last nine centuries.
Haddon’s Medieval Park reopens in April with a varied calendar of events.
Visitors can enjoy live music in the Hall on selected weekends at the end of May, June, July, and August, alongside exhibitions, specialist tours, and a range of creative experience workshops for all ages.
Back by popular demand, children can also enjoy the Little School of Sorcery from October 22-30, along with archery and Little School of Ecology during school holidays.
Later in the year, Haddon Hall’s festive season features its renowned Mercatum Christmas Artisan Market, running from November 11 to December 20, promising an atmospheric day out in a glorious setting.
Culinary offerings
Visitors can also indulge in a culinary experience at the estate’s restaurant, housed within the historic 17th-century stable block.
Overlooking the River Wye and the grand façade of the Hall, the restaurant offers a seasonal menu crafted from locally sourced ingredients, perfect for a leisurely lunch, traditional afternoon tea, or a beautifully prepared meal.
