About Gunby Hall and Gardens

Built in 1700 by Sir William Massingberd, this fine red brick house was described by Tennyson as ‘A haunt of ancient peace’. The hall contains period furniture and paintings by Reynolds, Holman-Hunt and Arthur Hughes. The ground floor including entrance hall, music room, library and dining room are accessible. The gardens have many herbaceous borders and rose beds.

There is a working kitchen garden, herb garden, formal frontage, fish pond and wild flower area. The garden has evolved over the past three hundred years but now remains much as it would have been at the turn of the 19th century. The garden area is flat and accessible to wheelchairs. The charming tearoom serves drinks, cakes and treats. Dogs on leads are very welcome as are picnics in the gardens. Car parking is free. There are steps into the house. (There may be limited timed tickets to the house on this day)

There will be numerous craft and trade stallholders around the gardens, selling an array of beautiful items
