Hanbury Hall

Situated in the heart of rural Worcestershire, Hanbury Hall is famed for its relaxing atmosphere, homely interiors and glorious gardens.

The William and Mary-style house near Bromsgrove was completed in 1701 for Thomas Vernon on the site of a former manor house, and was a family home for more than 200 years.

It features fine ceiling murals and a magnificent painted staircase. The richly-decorated family rooms such as the dining room and drawing room are complemented by collections including the Watney collection of porcelain.  Hanbury is popular with families and offers a busy programme of events including family activity days every Tuesday in August. Young visitors will also enjoy the new children’s play area and people of all ages can try their hand at playing bowls on the 18th century crown bowling green.

The garden has been recreated in keeping with the period of the house, with 20 acres to discover and many interesting features including the elegant parterre, the orangery, mushroom house and ice-house.  There are gentle walks to enjoy around the garden and a circular walk around the park, which offers superb views over the local countryside. The park is undergoing a programme of restoration to return it to its 18th century design.

Hanbury Hall is open at weekends from 3 to 18 March and Saturdays to Wednesdays from 19 March to 31 October. For admission prices, opening times and more information, call 01527 821214.
