Kingston Lacy is a lavish Italianate palace in the heart of Dorset.

In the mid 19th century, the explorer, adventurer and collector William John Bankes set about embellishing and transforming his 17th-century family home, creating a series of lavish interiors suitable for a growing art collection. But amid the grandeur there are some surprisingly intimate and quirky details, such as family souvenirs and an 'I owe you' note from a king.

Outside is a large estate, including an Iron Age hill fort, 40 acres of formal gardens, a play area, woodland, a Victorian fernery and a Japanese Garden with an authentic tea house.

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.

Visiting with children?

Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
