Dunham Massey
With a National Art Pass you get
A 121-room Grade 1 Georgian mansion set within a magnificent 300-acre deer park.
This is a treasure-packed and gossip-filled house which invites visitors to discover the salacious scandals embedded in the hall's history. Our favourite is the story of the 7th Earl of Stamford, who married Catharine Cox, a former bare-back circus rider. They were made to feel so unwelcome at Dunham Massey that they left the house and never returned.
During 2014-15, the clock was turned back to allow visitors to experience what life was like when it was used as a military hospital during the First World War.
Dunham Massey was one of the finalists for Art Fund Museum of the Year 2015.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
