To celebrate the 1st Anniversary of the Coronation of King Charles III, in response to public request, we are updating our ‘10 Monarchs & Holdenby ‘ Exhibition last shown In the Queens Platinum Jubilee Year.
Now called “ 11 Monarchs & Holdenby “ to include King Charles, it shows how Holdenby has been connected with Kings and Queens from Elizabeth 1st, to whom the House was dedicated, James I & Charles I, who owned it, right up to the present monarch.
The exhibition includes, amongst many other things, an Elizabethan bible dating from the year the house was completed, the 420 year
old deed that made Holdenby over to the Royal Family, a book that Charles I wrote at Holdenby, a tree that George VI planted, and fascinating Jubilee memorabilia from every reign from Queen Victoria to the present Queen.
It will also be a rare opportunity for visitors to visit the rest of the House, with its outstanding historical contents and to enjoy the
beautiful gardens where’s Charles I walked.
To make the day even more memorable for families, there will be a Royal Activity Pack and Quiz, with prizes for correct answers.
As James I would have practised Falconry at Holdenby, visitors will be also able to enjoy spectacular displays and talks about this
Sport of Kings by our resident Icarus Falconry.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR YOUR VISIT
Disabled Guests
We welcome guests with disabilities and work hard to ensure that you can access as much of the site as possible. Disabled parking will be clearly marked, and Blue Badges should be displayed. We hope visitors will understand that the gravelled paths, although not ideal for wheelchairs are part of the character of the house.
Dogs at Holdenby
Due to the animals and birds in our Falconry we have sadly had to take the decision to allow assistance dogs only.
