House, Gardens & Falconry Openings 2026
We are delighted to announce our 2026 opening programme for Holdenby House Gardens & Falconry.
We have been working hard over the winter months and look forward to welcoming you back to see the results.
Our renowned Falconry Centre’s small but growing collection of British Wildlife including Roxy the Fox, Kit & Kat the
polecats, Norma the hedgehog along with other members of our island’s wonderful wildlife are all set to greet you.
We are also very pleased that Millies Bakery is returning to The Old Stableyard Tearoom where they will be serving delicious
Homemade Cakes, Fresh Leaf Teas and freshly ground Coffees.
Our gift shop showcases local artists, offering stunning makes all produced locally along with toys and sweets, so there will be something for everyone including gifts inspired by Holdenby.

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.
