Aston Hall
With a National Art Pass you get
Aston Hall is a Jacobean mansion in Birmingham, displayed as a series of period rooms.
Built between 1618 and 1635, Aston Hall designed by John Thorpe, was one of the last great houses built in the Jacobean style. Restored to its former glory, it is now open to the public, offering a glimpse into the manor’s rich past.
Rooms with a view
Over its 400-year history, Aston Hall has witnessed many significant events. It served as a residence for royalty, endured a siege during the English Civil War, and even inspired a literary work. Walk through more than 30 beautifully preserved period rooms, furnished with items from the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, to get a feel for what life was like through the centuries. Explore grand spaces such as the Long Gallery and discover architectural details like the Great Oak Staircase, which still bears the marks of the Civil War.
Haunted house
Adding to its intrigue, Aston Hall is reputed to be one of the most haunted buildings in the UK. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the Hall's long history certainly lends itself to spooky tales, some of which date back to the 17th century and the actions of its first resident, Sir Thomas Holte. If you are a fan of the supernatural, keep your eye out for regular ghost tours and fright nights at the Hall.
