Gilbert White’s House and Gardens – Tour Tuesday

12 May 0226 to 12 May 2026

11.30am (Garden Tour) and 2.00pm ( House Tour) to 12.30pm (Garden Tour) and 3.00pm (House Tour)

Tour Tuesday Our Tour Tuesday’s are a great way to experience the house and gardens in a different way. Join one of our garden team for a tour of the gardens. Learn more about Gilbert White the gardener and how we manage and maintain this 25-acre site as an 18th Century historic garden as well as a site which benefits our local biodiversity.

In our house tours you will join collections manager Kimberley James for a tour of Gilbert White’s House, where the house comes alive as you learn more about White’s life and work.

Tours ought to be hour long but sometimes can over run, there is plenty of places to sit during the tours, and please make sure you have had chance to use the café before the afternoon House Tour.

Prices: Adult admission to both the house and gardens is £18.15, Garden only adult admission is £14.85 Children (3-16) are £6.60 for both the house and gardens.

Tour Tuesday is charged as an add on to the admission charge and is £5 per tour.

The garden tour and house tour would be £5 each so a £10 top up on admission if both are taken.
