Cusworth Hall, Museum and Park re-opened to the public in May 2007, after several years of extensive restoration work.
The Hall and its surrounding parkland have been transformed, with entire sections of the interior (previously in a poor state) given a new lease of life. Stunning ceiling paintings in the Italianate Chapel have been revealed and restored, after being hidden under layers of paint for 50 years.
The Great Kitchen, Bake House, Still Room and Laundry are also sometimes open to the public, giving a glimpse of what life was like 'below stairs'.
Our Gift Shop has a range of distinctive gifts, from jewellery and china to traditional toys and books, for a perfect souvenir of your visit.
We are open all year round and opening times are Monday to Friday 10.30 am - 5pm, Saturday and Sunday 1pm - 5pm.
Admission into the Hall and Park and all our activities are free unless otherwise stated, and are suitable for all. Please be aware that some events get extremely busy and you will need to book in advance on the phone number listed with the event. Children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
