Group tours

Explore together with a private visit.

We warmly welcome group visits of up to 20 people, all year round. Private tours are tailored exclusively for your group and led by one of our knowledgeable guides, offering a more personal and in-depth experience of West Horsley Place.

Private Nooks & Crannies Tour

Guided by one of our expert volunteer guides, you will explore every corner of the house, including areas never opened to the general public. Discover what Henry VIII had for lunch in the Stone Hall and see the bag that Walter Raleigh's head was carried in. Enjoy Lord Crewe’s impressive library and Sir Anthony Browne’s glorious Tudor ceiling.


This extensive tour provides an unrivalled opportunity to learn more about the history of West Horsley Place. During the tour, your group will explore the nooks and crannies of the house and delve into the fascinating lives of the many illustrious owners and visitors, as well as finding out more about the architectural history of the house. You’ll also have a chance to stroll in our beautiful Walled Garden. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get
closer to a wealth of stories from our past.

We can accommodate groups of up to 20 people, but advanced booking is essential. Group tours cost £24 per person, with a complimentary ticket for the group organiser. Each tour lasts around 1.5 hours and includes both The Manor House and The Walled Garden. Free parking is available on site, including space for coaches.

Step-free access is available throughout much of The Manor House and Place Farm Barn. An accessible lift provides access to the second floor of the house. There is a short walk from the car park to The Manor House, but a buggy is available for visitors who need support. Accessible toilets are also available. Please see our Accessibility page here.

We may need to limit the number of wheelchair users accessing the first floor at any time to ensure we can safely evacuate everyone in the event of an emergency. Please ask for more details on enquiry.

Our pop-up café partner, in the courtyard of Place Farm Barn, serves hot drinks and snacks daily.

Joint tour with Painshill

Combine your visit to West Horsley Place with a visit to Painshill, the Grade I listed landscape garden in Cobham. Painshill is regarded as one of the foremost and finest examples of the English Landscape Movement, offering dramatic follies, stunning lakes and sweeping, picturesque views.

Your day starts at Painshill with an introductory talk on the history of the garden and its visionary creator, the Hon. Charles Hamilton. You will then have an opportunity to explore the landscape at your leisure.

In the afternoon, you’ll visit West Horsley Place — just a 20-minute drive away — for a Nooks and Crannies guided history tour of The Manor House and Walled Garden.
